Car History

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

Thailand

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 am researching “the Flying Jaguar” based on XK120 chassis with custom body by Stabilimenti Farina. The chassis number 660992 was mentioned in an article on the car and I am trying to check whether correct or not. I have no further info but thought this may help in your attempt to build records of the chassis numbers.

Alex, I'm sure the correct chassis number is 660922. See the entry on this website and Jaguar XK120 In Detail by Anders Clausager, former Chief Archivist at JDHT, page 204 gives all the details.

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?
