With a fabulous collection of period and specially commissioned photographs, this publication represents a feast of valuable information for anyone interested in general motoring history, Jaguar specific information, as well as for enthusiasts and owners of these fine cars.Out of print for some years, this popular book is now available again from Veloce as part of their Classic Reprint series.
