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.

660239 is an excellent example of an Early 1950s production XK-120 OTS, one of only 1175 RHD cars ever produced. The chassis was completed on November 6th, 1950, and the car was dispatched on November 30th, 1950, to Brylaws, Sydney, arriving on the "Chanda" in February 1951 (with 660243). Sold on March 20th, 1951, to Jaguar dealer Macquarie Motors of Bathurst, New South Wales. It was first registered in Victoria in April 1951 (UJ-403).
