Car History

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

Singapore, 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.

I really like seeing pictures of the cars at their "low" before they are restored, In a lot of ways it's more interesting then pictures of the "well preserved" cars, In California especially around the college campuses (like Berkeley) it was commonplace to see ratty old British sport cars in not much better shape than the one pictured here being driven as everyday cars. I know all too well because I was one of the teenage kids who could just scrape together enough money to buy one... I bought my first XK in 1973, I paid $450 for an XK140DHC, I wanted a XK120 but I could find on I could afford... how times have changed.

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?
