If by "this" you are referring to the vehicle, the answer is "up a tree".

The photo is on the back cover of Norm Darwin's book, "The History of Ford in Australia".
The comment for the photo states, "The final resting place for an old XK sedan. Little is known about the circumstances of this vehicle's demise but we felt it an apropriate tail piece". The book was published originally in 1986. |

Yep, I've got that book too. I think there is a similar Holden book with the same sort of pic on the back, except it has an EK in the tree. |
