Need help IDing a car.

[TGTIW]

Can anyone tell me the make/model?
I'm thinking XK120...?

Jag 140 or 150.
Top of the door looks straight to me.
Sorry, upon reflection 150 is out.

C-type ?

[TGTIW]

I think you got it with the 140, it looks 1957ish.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Nope.

XK-120

The 140 and 150 had bumpers, not just bumperettes.

Made late 40's to about '54 or '55.

Only the XK-150 had relatively straight door tops, slightly curved.

Wrong door for a 120. No big chrome exterior door handle and curved door top.


Looks like the door is right for a 140. Chrome door handle on the flat area above the curved area that is an extension of the lines from the front fenders.


Top of the door is wrong for a 150 too. Chrome door handle, but it's on a curved area.


I'm voting that it's a 140 with the bumpers removed. Bumpers would be a lot easier to change than doors.

It is interesting in a typical early 50s fashion the door is 140 and the tail lights are 120.

Funny Brits.

Interchangeable and the lights all melt the same....

[fred cook]

XK140 prototype or very, very early XK140.

[Tobra]

I bet it was hard to get started when it was raining or there was a full moon.

Don't know how comfortable I would be in one of those North of 120 mph

I think tcar got it....

Given the bumperettes and door style I would guess mid 1950's XK120 DHC

[Laneco]

Door and windshield (look at the top of the frame especially) are 140. But bumpers and trunk latch below the trunk say 120.

So I say its a 130.

Correct...looks like a '53 drop head coupe. Wheel spats and the upsweep of the door are the first clues.

Now can anybody identify the house?
