From The Jaguar XK120 in the Southern Hemisphere (2009) by Elmgreen & McGrath
UK, NZ
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 believe this car, a rhd convertible, is the one referred to in a letter in Practical Classics magazine Nov. 1980 from the then owner Michael Robinson of Sydney Australia. The chassis number is given in his letter as 667912 (an invalid number).
He also mentions 660018, 660560 and S830141 as being owned by him.
