Car History

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

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.

Auction description:
Lot 15 - The Motorclassica Auction | 2016 - Sale AS0264
1953 Jaguar XK120
VIN/Chassis No. 669042
Engine No. W92977

Very few XK120s were built in right-hand drive guise, with most earmarked for export, just 192 steel-bodied examples were delivered in Australia. As values of the XK sports models have soared in recent years, XK120's have become increasingly sought after and finding an original Australian delivery example is becoming harder to find.

Estimate $ 150,000-180,000

Sold for $120,000

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?
