Car History
From The Jaguar XK120 in the Southern Hemisphere (2009) by Elmgreen & McGrath
Egypt (ex King Farouk)
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 mentioned in a letter in "Jaguar Driver" magazine September 1983 written by Mr R A Bastille. The car was in Egypt at Maadi, south of Cairo. It was owned by a retired Egyptian. It is described as a fixed-head with spats, solid wheels and painted white. The engine number was given as W4725-7 and body J 1645, gearbox JL 10260. It was said to be a "runner" but in poor condition.
