Jaguar E-Type: 3.8 & 4.2. 6-Cylinder; 5.3 V12

Writing in an acerbic yet revealing style, Denis Jenkinson begins his analysis of the E Type by stating, "The seats were awful...It still had the horrible old Jaguar gearbox... The headlights were abysmal". A few pages later, he points out that the E Type would nevertheless become his transport of choice for the next 15 years. The result is not only an absorbing examination of a very desirable automobile, but a fascinating glimpse into me design and manufacturing processes of another era. A special color section makes this book a handsome and thoroughly entertaining volume at an unbeatable price.
