Download or read book Powered by Jaguar written by Doug Nye and published by Motor Racing Publications. This book was released on 2005-10-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the design, development, racing achievements and production career of some of the greatest sports-racing cars of the 1950s, which have since become the stars of the historic racing scene. Powered By Jaguar, the original edition of which was published in 1980, is being brought back into print again in an extensively revised and extended edition of the author's highly regarded book. This is the story, told with Nye's renowned dedication for detail and accuracy, of the cars of four different competition car manufacturers, all of whom used the famous Jaguar XK engine in various forms to ensure their competitiveness on the race tracks of Europe and further afield. Today passionately coveted by owners and by those who crave to be such, they often change hands for vast sums and consequently their provenance is frequently the subject of discussion and argument. After a massive research effort, involving contact with past and present owners throughout the world, the author has managed to find the answer to many of the questions raised, and his extensive record of the lives of these cars over almost half a century is almost certain to become the definitive record, making this important book a 'must have' purchase by anyone associated with the motor racing scene.

Download or read book Jaguar written by Graham Robson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-20 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir William Lyons enjoyed a seemingly unstoppable rise to fame and fortune in the motor industry, and the Jaguar brand that he introduced became world-famous. Yet it did not happen overnight. In the 1920s he was in Blackpool, styling motorcycle sidecars, and in the 1930s in Coventry developing the SS motor car, with the stand-alone Jaguar company not appearing until 1945. The company's success was aided by the amazing new XK engine of 1948, by motor racing success at Le Mans, and by the stunning styling of cars like the XK120, the Mk 2 saloons and the extraordinary E-Type. Graham Robson here explores the history of the Jaguar company and its many classic marques.

Download or read book Jaguar E type Factory and Private Competition Cars written by Peter Griffiths and published by Veloce Publishing. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The racing E-type Jaguar emerged from the ambition of both the racing fraternity and Jaguar enthusiasts who wanted to take this iconic British sports car onto the track to see what it would do. With official (and sometimes unofficial) help from the factory, the E-type was continually developed and modified from almost the first week that the first production car left the factory. Recognized the world over, this beautiful aerodynamic car remains as popular today as it was in the 1960s. Jaguar E-type in Competition features period photographs and stories from the E-type’s early racing days, describes how the cars evolved, and gives details of the lightweights, semi-lightweights and factory specials, the Le Mans cars, the Modsports era, and the replica lightweight racing phenomena. The detailed appendices include lists of cars and drivers, book and magazine references. As the only book in its field to cover every aspect of the E-type’s competitive history from 1961 until the present day, the author redresses the balance to detail the 95% of cars usually overlooked. The reader will find hundreds of previously unseen photographs and new information, providing an invaluable source of material for anyone interested in this incredible sports car.
