To mark the 50th anniversary of the Jaguar E-type, here is an all-new updated edition of a classic book that was first published in 1989 and remained in print for 20 years. The E-type was, and still is, a uniquely charismatic and important British sports car and this remarkable book provides the ultimate tribute to it. With lots of new information and illustrations, and presented with handsome new design in a larger format, this book is a "must-have" for all E-type enthusiasts.
The story of Sir William Lyons is indelibly linked with that of his remarkable Jaguar cars. This inspiring book describes Lyons' early influences, his tentative steps into the motor trade and how, while in his 30s, he established a substantial motor manufacturing business and launched the Jaguar marque. Lyons was known for his talent for automotive styling, as well as his shrewd approach to business. He also saw the importance of motorsport and used racing to establish Jaguar's image of engineering excellence.
A reference for anyone considering a restoration of one of these classic luxury saloon cars, this book covers the Series 1, 2 and 3 XJ6 models built between 1969 and 1986. This manual shows you how to strip down, rebuild and tune an XK engine; repair and modify suspension; renovate interior trim; strip down and rebuild mechanical components; and repair and replace bodywork.
Illustrated with more than 900 photographs and diagrams, it also explains what to look for when buying a used XJ6.
