It has been printed in full colour. Of course many of the older photographs were originally taken in black and white and remain so, but full colour here means that any photograph that was in colour originally is reproduced in colour, wherever it is in the book – not just a 16 page section in the middle. This was a very costly decision, but one that represented the ‘no compromise’ nature of the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book includes the known histories of no fewer than 55 alloy XK120s. In addition, many XK120s covered are either now or have spent time in parts of the world other than those specifically covered, such as:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUSA – 203 cars\u003cbr\u003eUK – 143 cars\u003cbr\u003eEurope – 51 cars.\u003cbr\u003eThe new book is a follow-up to our book The Jaguar XK in Australia which was published in 1985. However, as we expanded the boundaries outside Australia, there was too much information to put into one volume for all XKs and therefore we have had to create separate books for each model. The last two books (XK140s and XK150s) will follow in coming years, with the XK140 volume to include racing histories as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have never stopped collecting XK histories but serious work on the current book did not start until 1996. So it has been a long haul over 14 years, not to mention all the earlier work. Many thousands of man hours have been spent. This time could have been spent restoring several XKs…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited edition – 1,000 copies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book was announced as an edition limited to 1,000 numbered copies (plus a few copies for libraries etc). However, the initial print run has in fact been 750 – of which more than 1\/3 were the subject of pre-publication written ‘expressions of interest’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSources, Warning and Disclaimer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 1 – Export of the XK120: Some Aspects\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 2 – The XK Enthusiast in Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 3 – Import and sale of the XK120 in Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImports by Dealers\u003cbr\u003eNew Prices\u003cbr\u003eCars Sold New in Australia\u003cbr\u003eLater Imports\u003cbr\u003eSurvival rates of XK120s in Australia\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 – Australian XK120 Histories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 5 – The XK120 in New Zealand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSale of the XK120 in New Zealand\u003cbr\u003eXK Enthusiasts in New Zealand\u003cbr\u003eDistributors\u003cbr\u003eNew Zealand XK120 Car Histories\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6 – The XK120 in Asia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSale of the XK120 in Asia\u003cbr\u003eXK Enthusiasts in Asia\u003cbr\u003eXK120s in Each Country\u003cbr\u003eBurma (Myanmar)\u003cbr\u003eCeylon (Sri Lanka)\u003cbr\u003eHong Kong\u003cbr\u003eIndia\u003cbr\u003eIndonesia\u003cbr\u003eJapan\u003cbr\u003ePakistan\u003cbr\u003ePapua New Guinea\u003cbr\u003ePhilippines\u003cbr\u003eSingapore \/ Malaya\u003cbr\u003eThailand\u003cbr\u003eVietnam\u003cbr\u003eAsian XK120 Car Histories\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7 – The XK120 in the Middle East\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSale of the XK120 in the Middle East\u003cbr\u003eXK120s in Each Country\u003cbr\u003eAden\u003cbr\u003eBahrein\u003cbr\u003eIran\u003cbr\u003eIraq\u003cbr\u003eLebanon\u003cbr\u003eSaudi Arabia\u003cbr\u003eMiddle Eastern XK120 Car Histories\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8 – The XK120 in Northern Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSale of the XK120 in Northern Africa\u003cbr\u003eXK Enthusiasts in Northern Africa\u003cbr\u003eXK120s in Each Country\u003cbr\u003eAlgeria\u003cbr\u003eEgypt\u003cbr\u003eGold Coast (Ghana) \/ British West Africa\u003cbr\u003eLibya\u003cbr\u003eMorocco\u003cbr\u003eNigeria\u003cbr\u003eNorthern African XK120 Car Histories\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9 – The XK120 in Southern Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSale of the XK120 in Southern Africa\u003cbr\u003eXK Enthusiasts in Southern Africa\u003cbr\u003eXK120s in Each Country\u003cbr\u003eBelgian Congo (Zaire, Democratic Republic of the Congo)\u003cbr\u003eKenya\u003cbr\u003eMadagascar\u003cbr\u003eMauritius\u003cbr\u003ePortuguese East Africa (Mozambique)\u003cbr\u003ePortuguese West Africa (Angola)\u003cbr\u003eSouth Africa\u003cbr\u003eSouthern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe)\u003cbr\u003eSouthern African XK120 Car Histories\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10 – The XK120 in South America\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSale of the XK120 in South America\u003cbr\u003eXK Enthusiasts in South America\u003cbr\u003eXK120s in Each Country\u003cbr\u003eArgentina\u003cbr\u003eBrazil\u003cbr\u003eBritish Guiana\u003cbr\u003eChile\u003cbr\u003eColombia\u003cbr\u003eEcuador\u003cbr\u003ePeru\u003cbr\u003eUruguay\u003cbr\u003eVenezuela\u003cbr\u003eSouthern American XK120 Car Histories\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11 – Indexes \u0026amp; Miscellaneous\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAddenda\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndexes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChassis numbers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegistration Numbers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXK120 Owners\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClubs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJaguar Heritage Trust\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthors’ Biographies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Automoto Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47628723945692,"sku":"9780959107029","price":600.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/8297\/3404\/files\/page_000__77937.1600150976.1280.1280.jpg?v=1772104780","url":"https:\/\/automotobookshop.com.au\/products\/the-jaguar-xk120-in-the-southern-hemisphere-john-elmgreen-terry-mcgrath","provider":"Automoto Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
