Spotted these two going on to the M77 yesterday, any one help with what they are. The front one was lovely, although in need of much work.

Thought so, not 100% though. Its the front one that interests me most though.

Front looks like a Jag XK 150 FHC, back is a Mercedes 190 SL and the photographing car is an Aston Martin, I'm guessing a V8 Vantage

XK120FHC and 190SL. Both gorgeous.

Edit- 4 replies in the time it took me to write one line???

And I agree, it's an XK150.

It's definitely a 150. Compare the lines of the 120 and this and you'll see the lines on the 120 are more pronounced

Just done a search on the 150, thats it. Stunning car, first time I have seen one. No doubt it was going for further restoration as was in a bit of a sorry looking state.

Balls, I thought the alcantara looked a bit more V8-ee than the the DB9

The XK150 is such a lovely car, I'm surprised to see them still at under £100k for a minter. 190SLs are also super cheap considering the cost of other Mercs of a similar age
