GB18: Jaguar XJR-9 Owners' Workshop Manual includes all Jaguar XJR Group C and IMSA sports racing cars, 1985 to 1993 (XJR-5 to XJR-16) by Michael Cotton, published in 2017 by Haynes Publishing.
An insight into the design, engineering and operation of Jaguar's World Championship, IMSA and Le Mans winning cars.
The Jaguar XJR-9LM is renowned as the 1988 Le Mans winner. It was the first Jaguar to win the world's most prestigious endurance race since 1957, and an estimated 50,000 British spectators were there to cheer the Tom Walkinshaw Racing Jaguar team in its hour of glory.
The XJR-9 was midway through a series of V12 Jaguars, starting with the XJR-6 in 1985, and finishing with the XJR-12 from 1990-93. All were powered by Jaguar's production based V12 engine.
The XJR-9 also won the 1988 Daytona 24 Hours, and its successor , the XJR-12, again won at both Le Mans and Daytona in 1990.
This manual covers the entire nine year history of the XJR Jaguars, both in the World Championship and IMSA racing, and includes interviews with drivers Derek Warwick, Martin Brundle, Andy Wallace, Jan Lammers and Win Percy, plus engineers Tony Southgate, Allan Scott and Alastair Macqueen, while former Jaguar Cars boss, Sir John Egan, provides a foreword.

JAGUAR E-TYPE SIX-CYLINDER Originality Guide
GB16: Jaguar E-Type Six Cylinder Originality Guide by Dr. Thomas Haddock and Dr. Michael Mueller, published in 2017 by Dalton Watson Fine Books.
This book is based on research spanning almost five decades. As such, the book is archaeological in nature, based more on observations of cars than on factory publications or other literature. The examination of principally un-restored cars, many partly or completely disassembled and still retaining their original configuration, permitted discovery of much detailed infor-mation not reported before. The subject is covered in depth, with 1568 pictures and 516 pages.
A few of the many topics treated in the book are:
• Variations between early and late E-type Moss transmissions
• An analysis of engine block and head part numbers and configurations
• A review of the myriad of small sheet metal variations in the tub, bonnet and doors, including coupe bodywork in early 3.8L production
• Hidden markings on instruments
• Review of subtle variations in early cooling fan motors
• Coupe sun-visor evolution
• Markings and tags on carburettors
• Markings on various tyres originally supplied on E-types
This book significantly advances the understanding of the original configuration of these remarkable cars.
