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.
