Jaguar - Hardcover

This tribute to the famous British car manufacturer begins in 1922 in a tiny garage producing just one motorcycle sidecar a week. It includes the production of some of the most aristocratic and stylish pre-war sports cars, the appearance in the 1950s of what many considered to be the ultimate sports racing car, in the shape of the D-type, the impact of the E-type and the XJ6. "Jaguar" is enlivened by commentary from those who shaped the company, previously unpublished photographs from the company's archives, and the specification panels of each model, along with comprehensive explanations of all engine breakthroughs. Philip Porter is a motoring journalist and a collector of old Jaguars. He was editor of "XK" magazine and later, "Jaguar Driver". His books include a short general history of Jaguar and more specialist books on the XK120 and XK140 and another on the XJ6.
