    • Car History

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

    Morocco, 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.

    Thanks to Anonymous providing the link, seller's description:

    I bought this XK120 OTS, RHD as my first car in November 1964. Maintained with, among other things, a total repair of the lower engine in 1992, then of the cylinder head in 2017. Front axle and rear suspension: all wearing parts including shock absorbers and rear leaf springs replaced in 1995. Electronic ignition 123, tank and aluminum radiator.

    Painted in 1978. No chassis and bodywork corrosion. The XK has always slept in the garage. I ride regularly (not in the rain) around 1000Kml per year.

    I am separating from this old companion, because the years no longer allow me to enjoy it "as before"

    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?
