    • 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.

    This car has been under restoration for nearly 20 years after parts of it were found at Wyong on the Central Coast of NSW. Concours Sportscar Restoration are nearing completion of a most extensive restoration of this car back to factory original specification. Gavin King. www.concours.com.au

    According to www.concours.com.au/completed/completed-xks/jaguar-xk120-ots-660372 :

    Restored March 2017
    XK120 roadster chassis number 660372 came to us in July 1994 along with XK120 roadster 660197 and XK120 FHC 669089. All that remained was the chassis, the engine block, an incorrect body and a couple of boxes of parts. We basically recreated this car, including painting the body in the original Birch Grey and trim the interior in the original biscuit and red. Finally finished in 2017!

    Gavin posted a video of the car on the facebook page JAGUAR XK 120 140 150. Looking perfect.

    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?
