Love 'em all...20's,40's and 50's. I especially like this color combination. An outstanding example, in my eyes. Thanks, Kim.

I can't be absolutely positive, but I'm pretty sure the guy knows what he owns. See below.
After a quick search online at photos of the XK 120 & XK 140 they both show photos of the window frames in both configuations.
After more research and reading up on it, one of the major distinctive differences is that the 140 has a chrome strip running from the grill all the way to the back license plate. Also, the grill on the 140 was cast as one piece, on the 120 the pieces were brazed together.

I beg to differ. I owned a 1955 XK140 OTS in BRG over Biscuit, exactly like this one, so much so that I did a double-take. (Mine was sold to a buyer in Belgium a few years ago.) The OTS or open two-seater, had a chrome window frame. I think you may be thinking of the convertible, aka drophead coupe (DHC), which had a body-colored windshield frame. The XK140, like the XK 120 before it, came in three different body styles: OTS, DHC and fixed-head coupe (FHC). The most obvious differences between the XK 120 and XK 140 are the larger bumpers and the slightly larger cockpit, better brakes, etc. It was a beautiful car in all body styles.
