Jaguar is the most exciting make of car in Britain. There is something in the Jaguar story of interest to every car enthusiast. In this book, the history of the marque is traced from the modest beginnings as a sidecar manufacturer in Blackpool, almost 70 years ago, to its present position as one of the world´s leading manufactures of luxury and spoports cars.
Jaguar have won the 24-hour race at Le Mans more times than any other British make. This is also the story of Jaguar´s motor racing career, from the golden age of the 1950s to the renaissance in the 1980s. But the development of Jaguar cars, has not been overlooked either. This part of the story culminates with the development of today´s XJ40 and the fabulous XJ220 supercar which created a sensation in the 1988 Motor Show.
