Car History

From The Jaguar XK120 in the Southern Hemisphere (2009) by Elmgreen & McGrath

Australia

John Elmgreen (from Sydney, Australia) and Terry McGrath (Perth, Western Australia) have been extreme XK enthusiasts since the 1970s if not before. In 1985 they published "The Jaguar XK in Australia". It was described by Alan Clark (Jaguar expert, historian, Minister in the UK Thatcher government) as amongst Jaguar books "my own personal favourite" and by Jaguar automobilia expert Ian Cooling as a superb book standing "supreme in the Jaguar library as a testament to years of diligent research and scholarship". Terry McGrath is also co-author of the monumental "Forerunners of Jaguar in Australasia and SE Asia". The new book "The Jaguar XK120 in the Southern Hemisphere" is to be followed in due course by XK140 and XK150 volumes.

Beautiful Car. But shouldn't it have a straight-sided windscreen?

This car is mentioned in "XK Bulletin" May 1979 in a letter from the owner, M. Downey 24 Faraday Ave, Rose Bay, N.S.W Australia.

CORRECTION- above reference should be for May 1976.

Also XK BulletinJuly 1976 features an article by M Downey setting out in some detail the history of his car including competition events in Australia. He states the car left the Jaguar factory in November 1949 arriving in Australia in March 1950.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
