Jaguar E-Type:The definitive history

July 7, 2014

Jaguar E-Type The definitive history by Phillip Porter, Haynes, £60. ISBN: 0-85429-580-1

Expensive, yes, but it really is definitive. Not only does it include all the expected production run data, but also fascinating inside detail: sketches of stillborn projects, internal correspondence, test reports, personal recollections… Reissued unchanged, this is both thorough and readable. GC

Deputy editor

Bravely ignoring his degree in industrial design after discovering night rallies in a Renault 8, GC joined Motor Sport by accident, in the Teesdale days around 1982 when Jenks and WB were office regulars and Mr Tee ruled with a rod of cardboard. He took part in some of the early historic rallies, winning one of the Pirelli Marathons, and regularly runs his Mk2 Jaguar in road events.
