    From The Jaguar XK120 in the Southern Hemisphere (2009) by Elmgreen & McGrath

    USA, 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.

    Purchased the car from a dealer in Sydney who had the car in the back of his workshop. Left there by the owner who imported it from the States and intended to restore. Subsequently sold to the dealer. At present car has body off and chassis being upgraded in suspension and brakes. Work slow but positive. No known history of car at all as no papers with car on purchase.

    680364 attended the 2025 Australian National Jaguar Rally at Mount Panorama at Bathurst. John Elmgreen gives us a description of the event and beautiful cars in the June 2025 issue of the International Jaguar XK Club’s monthly magazine XK Gazette.

    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?
