UPDATE FROM 2002!!!
Hi!
I haven't given up researching the history of my XK120 OTS (670501)!
With the help of John Elmgreen, Bob Stevenson, Bruce Carnachan, Alan G. Boring and many others I have collected more information about the early US years of 670501 but the 1950-1968 gap is still wide open.
Can anybody help?
