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.

Was for sale on ebay in Australia and sold on the 14.4.12 to a Queensland buyer. Very dissaponted to have missed out on purchasing this car as I own the seats, hoodframe, doors, bonnet, spats and bootlid, all purchased in 1997. The oldest steel bodied car known in Australia.

Delighted to see this car is being restored. I used to own 660080 for 28 years and found out that 079 resided less than a kilometre from where I lived at Brighton le Sands, Sydney. If anyone knows the whereabouts of 080 I'd appreciate knowing. Sold it 1998 and it went to Perth.
