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

Hi all
I've recently bought 660379 and had it shipped it back to the UK from Australia - it's currently being restored. It's chassis 660379, body F2474 but it was initially black not bronze, with biscuit and red interior (source = Jaguar Heritage). Reg no. IMS111 was added when it was exported to Australia. I'm currently seeking it's original UK reg no. if you can advise. Manufacture date was 30 Nov 1950, original distributor was Henlys of London.
Please email me if you need any other details.
Thanks
Nigel
