    • Car History

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

    Uruguay, 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.

    View Condition Report

    The 43rd left-hand drive XK120 roadster built, '670043' was despatched to Jaguar's main agent in Uruguay in 1950 and imported into Spain in 1990. The owner then sent the car to the UK for restoration, which proceeded at a leisurely pace and has not yet been completed. We are advised that the engine, gearbox, rear axle, chassis and suspension have been rebuilt, while the body has been restored, repainted and put back on the chassis, leaving the interior, electrics and final finishing still to be done. It should be noted that the engine has not been run since being rebuilt. There are no documents with this Lot, which is sold strictly as viewed.

    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?
