From The Jaguar XK120 in the Southern Hemisphere (2009) by Elmgreen & McGrath
British West Africa (private purchaser) , UK
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.

Car ex British West Africa in 1970s. Engine W1137-7 is from 660003.

The correct number for the engine now fitted to 660367 is W1132-7 (not W1137-7), which was originally fitted to 660074 also sold new in West Africa: Accra, Gold Coast.

The original engine number now suggested is W 2398-8 but W 2598-8 would be a better fit
