From The Jaguar XK120 in the Southern Hemisphere (2009) by Elmgreen & McGrath
Venezuela, fate unknown
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 last heard of this car as still being in Argentina in 2016. Love to have an update on its repatriation to the UK!

Hi John
It came back into the UK in 2019, along with an XK150, and another 120. John Brown sold it to us not long after and then the work (pain) began. It was at Shelsley last weekend and will be out and about.
