Kiwi big banger Sports Cars of late 1960s and early 70's

HI there, I have just joined this site. I was wanting some information on a XK120 Jag a friend and I have just purchased.
The vehicle has been in storage some 50years, it was I believe bought to New Zealand by Jack Tutton who raced the vehicle and then sold it to Sybil Lupp and then she raced it as well.
We are in the process of doing a full restoration on the Jag. The chassis no is 660112, I believe it has some good racing history. If anyone has any information of photos of this vehicle it would be much appreciated as we are wanting to restore to its original state. I have been told there is a book by David McKinney that has some information on it as well.

The book you need is Racing Jaguars in New Zealand by Brian Watson. He's been advertising copies on Trade Me.

Thank you for that I will try and get the book any help we can is great as we are trying to put the car back to the way it was back in the 1950s when it was raced Thanks again Paul .

Paul,

Also check out through British Leyland Heritage in the UK, they will probably have its early History, who sold to, etc and when

http://www.heritage-motor-centre.co....hive-services/

The centre was originally BL Heritage, but as BL is defunct, try the above link

looking at how the link saved " heritage-motor-centre.co.uk/archive-services/ " after the www.
