For me there are 2 gems in this little group, but one model is very interesting.

I can't tell if the D-type is an "A" or "B". If it's a "B" the open mouth is somewhat elusive.
And then there's that black XK140??? Is it from the "Originals" range or a repaint or some rarity I've never heard of?
Both of the red ones look metallic to me. Haven't looked at the page for that model but I'm wondering if one of those is a weird wheel color for the metallic paint.

The D type is an A and the XK140 is from the origional range.
Well spotted on the weird wheel colour for metallic paint.

Thankyou very much Mike, I bought the models for the non metallic Jaguar. First one I have found without the bonnet badge.
Very small variation, but I have not been able to find one until now. :D J

Yes Mike, very good pictures. I have been looking for a long time for one with no badge, very difficult to see sometimes.
