From The Jaguar XK120 in the Southern Hemisphere (2009) by Elmgreen & McGrath
Singapore, NZ
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.

I have recently purchased this car. It appears to have come to NZ in 1961 from Singapore where it was sold new in 1951. After a series of owners it was purchased in dismantled form in 1981 from an owner who had intended to race it, but decided to only use the engine and gearbox in another race car build. It was stored until earlier this year when I purchased it along with boxes of parts to attempt a restoration.
