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

Purchased the car from a dealer in Sydney who had the car in the back of his workshop. Left there by the owner who imported it from the States and intended to restore. Subsequently sold to the dealer. At present car has body off and chassis being upgraded in suspension and brakes. Work slow but positive. No known history of car at all as no papers with car on purchase.
