If ever there was a deserving recipient of the title 'Great Car', it is the Jaguar E-type. Produced from 1961 to 1975, this is a sports car that even today is instantly recognisable by people of all ages and is one of the best-known design icons of the sixties. Published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the E-type, this book is an expanded second edition of a highly successful title in the Haynes "Great Cars" series, featuring a new section called 'The E-type today'.
A welcome addition to the Great Cars Series, this volume focuses on the Jaguar XK 120, 140 and 150 model ranges.
The XK120 established Jaguar as a world-renowned marque, providing a remarkable combination of style, world-beating performance and innovative engineering, and the subsequent XK-40 and XK150 maintained Jaguar’s position as a leading sports car manufacturer.
With the aid of archive images and stunning studio photography, respected Jaguar historian Nigel Thorley tells the story of these classic cars.

The Jaguar Mk I/II is arguably the most famous and instantly recognisable saloon produced by Jaguar to date. The Mk II was the best-selling Jaguar of the sixties and increased Jaguar's sales and profitability worldwide. Winner of many races, run by 80 of all British Police forces (and 90 of all crooks!), and epitomised by TV cops and robbers such as The Sweeney and Inspector Morse, the Mk I/II is undergoing a revival in enthusiast circles. This beautifully produced edition will appeal to all fans of British cars as well as to Jaguar owners and enthusiasts.
