So I'll give them a miss as this is supposed to be a '59 to '61 car.  |
Mmmmmm! Now there's something I did not know.
However, it would appear that all 16 original XKSS's had them, and I believe they were produced in 1955, so perhaps the patent was not granted until that year.
My car is intended as a 55 car, so I will leave my stickers on.
I don't think concours judges will ever be giving my car the once over, , so I should be okay in that department!
