Car History

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

UK, USA, Japan

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.

My father owned this car from some time in the late 1970's until around 2003/4, had done a restoration on it but did not quite finish it. Believe it went to Japan. We were always led to believe it was the last one off the production line and was even told this by Jaguar, surprised to see there is a 669195.

Would be interested in knowing where the car is now

Morgan, according to the car history note above the car has a history in the UK, USA and Japan. You might try to contact the authors of the book The Jaguar XK120 in the Southern Hemisphere

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?
