Car History
From The Jaguar XK120 in the Southern Hemisphere (2009) by Elmgreen & McGrath
Australia, broken up from 1964
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.

660172 was purchased by my father (Phil Palmer) in 1960 with a blown up engine. He replaced this with the engine from his other XK (660114) and raced it at Lithgow Hillclimb, Catalina Park Katoomba and other Sprints until 1964 when it was damaged in a road accident. The car was stripped for parts and the body and chassis were disposed of at the Lithgow Tip.
