Nice shot of a classic British car, Dan. It's the XK120 drophead coupé version.

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.

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.

There was also the Jaguar XK150:

extinguisher ... Be sure you know where this is. Prophetic: a fire broke out

 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.

Thanks, Bruce, JC, Jack, Paul, Don, Eric and Paul.

I thought it was a vintage Jag.  My neighbor had one like this in the
late 1960s.  It was almost always in the shop, so he had another Jag
and a Buick wagon so he could actually get to work most of the time.

Of course, my 1965 MG B wasn't much more reliable.

 Nice photo, Dan, and excellent call Jack. Most of the XK 120s were fitted 
 with wire wheels, but these are the original standard versions. Not often 
 seen.
