Test for all you Jag experts out there...

The car shown (incredibly briefly) at the end of the current Mariah Carey music video.........

It is the nicest back end of a car I think I have ever seen, and I think it's an old Jag XK120 - any one know for sure?

(gonna start saving for one, and need to know what it is that I'm saving for!!)

Also - is there an easy way to tell an XK120, XK140 and XK150 apart? :confused:

You were watching a Mariah Carey video and noticed the car!!!

Don't know what it is, but I can help with the main difference between the 120, 140 and 150.

120 - Waisteline dives very low ahead of the rear arches.

140 - Waisteline dives less.

150 - Visually the same as the 140 with much larger (US spec ) chrome bumpers.

All IIRC

I believe that to be an XK150 roadster. Very nice... although not as nice IMO as the XK120 fixed head coupe.

XK150s are around the £40k mark I think for reasonable ones - start saving!
