Here are a couple of photos of the car when it was owned by Iain McPherson. The old Holden engine is very evident and the radiator looks like it needs that high bonnet bulge. This was before he had found the bonnet languishing behind someone's shed and the original Bill Lucas aero screen. Note the wire wheels on the front and the disc wheels on the back. When they needed to replace the rear end assembly with an XK120 unit it was also necessary to use disc wheels.
Also quoted from the August edition of "Hundreds and Thousands" is............"Iain McPherson eventually sold the car to Patrick Ryan who became a good friend and has remained so for over 30 years. Patrick currently has the car with David Rapley who is rebuilding it to the period when it was the Elgaram." I've found some more photos of the Elgaram and here are a couple. The first one is of Rex Styles at the wheel and I would welcome being told where it was.
The next one is at the 1964 Geelong Sprints and that could very well be Bob Minogue at the wheel because I know he drove it at that event that year.
