Car History

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

USA, Brazil

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.

Opening bid $50,000 reserve not met, no bids yet, 9 days left in auction. Buy it now price $69,000, located in Bucyrus, Kansas.

Sellers description:

Gorgeous XK120 DHC 43,420 original miles and the same owner for the last 35 years. This rare beauty was owned by my father for 35 years, and was always meticulously maintained and kept in his climate controlled garage. It is in very original condition and has never had a speck of rust and has never even been taken apart. Restoration work that has been done is the paint, interior and new top (all about 10 years ago) and a lot of detailing over the years. Condition is absolutely excellent. Engine and drivetrain is all original to this vehicle and it runs beautifully with awesome sound from the dual exhaust. If you've been looking for that special Jag 120 don't let this rare, very original 43,420 mi. DHC (only 1769 built) get away.
