Presently restoring, 3/4 done. This car was raced by owner of Burbank, CA Import Motors in the 1950's.
Car is equipped Borrani wire wheels, after market early 50's.
Tail lights appear painted not chromed, any input? Have owned the car approximately 35 years.

Painted taillight housings are correct for a period from late 1951 to early 1952. The story is that there was a shortage of chromium, and Jaguar chose to delete chrome here for a few months. My own 679187 is another example of painted taillights, definitely original.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
