XK140 for low sidelights - XK120 only had baby ones on wing top. But am uneasy that bumper is big enough for genuine XK140 (which also usually had great big over-riders capable of disembowelling any farm animals encountered on country lanes) - here's one without them for comparison - Link to "jagxk.com" - with visible bolt holes. So this bumper's wrong, but other bits look OK - is that enough to condemn it as a replica?? |

That front bumper is identical to the one produced by Nostalgia Cars for their "Classic 120", http://www.nostalgiacars.co.uk/cars.html What do you reckon DSL? |

Done some more picture-checking - fairly sure it's a 140-style grille - fewer and thicker grille bars than 120 - but looks fake. So I vote Replica. Noted from the Nostalgia Cars link that their sidelights are too low/close to the bumper position, so this is someone else's replica, probably US for location. Result - I think this is XK 140 Replica by unknown US firm who provide XK 120-style bumpers and hope no-one notices. |
