Car History

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

UK, temporarily in Macau, China, Australia, then UK again

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 am the present (proud) owner of this vehicle. I purchased it in 2004 from the second Lady owner who'd had it since the early 60's.
I hope this information helps!

a roadster bodied XK120DHC chassis registered LRY291 that was in Asia and australia owned by Chris d. stewart of london.
This original bodied XK120 DHC also registered LRY291 noted as owned by Ben and maybe this is the name we used in our book Benjamin d buckle?

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?
