XK120 DHC
(easy way to tell the 120 and 140 apart is the bumpers)

Very nice.
Doing the roof might be a big job. Besides, what's the point in owning a 120 and having the roof up.

Actually the bonnet and grill don't look quite right.
The grill is more like a 150's, could just be the angle, but the rest of the car doesn't look like a 150.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
Intrigued
The whole thing could be a bit to wide for a 120 too.

It looks nice, but it's a kit, give aways, grill wrong shape, door handle, wheels and tyres to small, side lights and the indicators

OK, not sure how I missed the door handles.
Its common to see XKs on 15" wheels, saves on tyres.

Looks like a repro designed to look like an XK 150.

I think it's possibly one of the Autotune replicas, the Nostalgia are better made.

Thanks for clearing that up guys -I think the final nail in its "originality" coffin is the fact that it was on a 1974 "L" plate........
