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

This car is featured in Jaguar Driver magazine June 1989.The then owner, Achille Soria of Turin Italy was seeking information as to its history. He stated that it had been exported to South America in 1950 and subsequently imported to Italy from Paraguay. There was a colour photo of the proud owner in his car and it appeared to be British Racing Green. At some stage it had been fitted with external door handles and it was noted that the rear bumpers had been fitted upside down (a common error!).
Engine number was given as W 13267 and a registration number B5-7272(S. American?)
