This pictorial history shows the Jaguar company's humble beginnings when it built motorcycle sidecars, to the mass production of luxury saloons and high-performance sportscars. This account chronicles the decades of the 50s and 60s when Jaguar produced the XK120, XK150, the D-type, the E-type, the mark 2 and the XJ6. Each model is described in chronological order, and its contribution to the story of the development of Jaguar design and engineering is made clear. This title is intended for Jaguar owners and enthusiasts everywhere and should appeal to all those who have a keen interest in motoring history.
In this pictorial account of Daimler, Britain's oldest motor manufacturer, the author recalls the chequered history of the company and the range of luxury cars it has created. He describes the royal patronage, technical innovation and the takeovers and buy-outs, but concentrates on the distinctive vehicles, from saloons and limousines to hearses, buses, ambulances, tanks and even a sportscar.
