Book Description
Sir William Lyons enjoyed a seemingly unstoppable rise to fame and fortune in the motor industry, and the Jaguar brand that he introduced became world-famous. Yet it did not happen overnight. In the 1920s he was in Blackpool, styling motorcycle sidecars, and in the 1930s in Coventry developing the SS motor car, with the stand-alone Jaguar company not appearing until 1945. The company's success was aided by the amazing new XK engine of 1948, by motor racing success at Le Mans, and by the stunning styling of cars like the XK120, the Mk 2 saloons and the extraordinary E-Type. Graham Robson here explores the history of the Jaguar company and its many classic marques.

Jaguar E Type

Pages : 0
Book Description
By 1961 the motoring public were well used to Jaguars; what with their striking appearance, reliability and speed, value for money and race winning habits. The XK had moved slightly away from being a rough, tough sports car; the 150 just teetering on being more ' plush than rush' . Their saloons were certainly fast but were obviously more ' gin palace than paddock bar' . Then the E Type was announced, and everyone was taken by surprise.: here was a smooth, comfortable, even cheap, sports two seater of the English-spirit with 150 mph potential. Denis Jenkinson plots the car's development story and at the same time interlaces his own vast experience of two E Types with which he criss-crossed Europe over hundreds of thousands of miles.
