Thanks in advance,

I think its the Jaguar XK120 Open Top Sports 1954, not exactly sure on the year, but its very close. Could put you on the right tracks on a search.

XK 120 has the emblem placed above the grille. This one has the emblem right in the top of the grille.
It looks more like the XK140 model, but the small built-in side lights in the front are missing (unless they have been covered up when the fog lights in front were installed).

I think it's an XK140. Sometimes it's difficult to tell because not everyone has cars restored to the exact original spec. I find a lot of owners make modifications.

Not sure, but what about the possibility of an XK150 ?

Can I interest you in my '95 XJS POS?

XK 150 looks differently from side view.
Indeed, it could be XK 140, maybe they came in different flavours or slightly modified for export to different countries, when it comes to the grille and lights.

My husby would kill me, though I might be able to sneak it out if only the damn thing would start without him jumping me. Pretty as a metal artwork, tho.

Hi Les,

Could this possibly be the same vehicle you have pictured? This one has the skirts on the back wheels.

Frank,

Thank you for mentioning the XK 120 Roadster. It looks almost identical except the grille and another minor detail on the side, just before the driver door.
You have a beautiful collection of classics in your gallery. What tool did you use to isolate / extract those cars?
