Identify the classic car..
« on: 20 February 2013, 22:04:57 »

Can anyone identify the car hiding behind the BSA 350? It's on the tip of my tongue and it's bugging me something chronic now!

looks a bit like an XK120 Jag to me .... although the rear "window" line might be a tad too steep ...

nah found an image of the hardtop version .. XK120 :)

Yep I think you're right - thanks for that.. I knew it looked awfully familiar, but the roofline had me fooled; I'm not sure I've ever seen a coupe XK120 before :)

Bumper overiders possibly for the American market - I'm sure there is something about a minimum height limit on the bumpers
