Re: Red Flash
HI Ken. What makes you think an XK140 rather than a 120? The wheels lead me to believe it's a 120. I think all the 140s came with wires, and they had a rear bumper that wrapped around onto the rear quarter.

Re: Red Flash
What makes you think an XK140 rather than a 120? Paul, its mainly, from the images on the web, the 120 has prominent curvature at the beltline, on the top of the door, while the 140 door is basically a straight line at the beltline. BTW Dan's image looks like it has only bumperettes - no bumper at all.

Re: Red Flash
I do believe you are right. This one http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ee/Jaguar_XK140_white.jpeg compared to this one http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e7/Jaguar_XK_120,_Bj._1953,_Nürb'ring_Südschleife_(2008-06-28).jpg shows the identifying cosmetic differences. Look at the windshield frame and the pitch of the grill. Also the 140 last the fender skirts.
