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.

Head in very poor state has been found in Adelaide, Australia. No idea about the rest of the car.

Where did the head turn up?

I now own this car. I bought it from Bill McDonald who had owned it for 40 years. Since buying it I have had the engine rebuilt to a very high standard. I have also had much mechanical work done in order to ensure that is an excellent driving car. The cosmetics are nice but nowhere near perfect. At this stage I intend to keep it as a nice driver.
