You can certainly feel the traces of a fast life.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

I saw this car at Techno Classica in Essen this year ... It was based on a Jaguar XK120 "MRT Tomlinson". I'll be honest, I knew it was a Jaguar XK120, but I had to look that last bit up ...

Is it the same car?

Yes, that's the same car, well done. Nothing wrong with using Google.

Another point for you.

The car has a 1964 registration so it must have been re-registered after it was rebuilt by MRT Tomlinson
