Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The Jaguar Mk I/II is arguably the most famous and instantly recognizable saloon produced by Jaguar to date. The Mk II was the best-selling Jaguar of the 1960s and increased Jaguar’s sales and profitability worldwide. Winner of many races, run by 80 percent of all British Police forces (and 90 percent of all crooks!), and epitomized by TV cops and robbers such as The Sweeney and Inspector Morse, the Mk I/II is undergoing a revival in enthusiast circles. This beautifully produced edition will appeal to all fans of British cars as well as to Jaguar owners and enthusiasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye Candy for Jaguar MkI/MkII Enthusiasts, August 12, 2006

By	Michael P. Mcsheehy "mpmc111" (Fort Worth, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I enjoy this book because of it's subject matter, and the photography layout. Combine brilliant, studio style photos of the charismatic Mk1 & Mk2 Jaguar Sedans, add clear, concise text, then sprinkle with some nifty period photos. The result is a very worthwhile addition for any Jaguar enthusiasts' library. The large, detailed color photos (some on the rare Coombe's version, and the Mike Hawthorne replica) are an excellent reference for those restoring a Jaguar, and for scale model builders. The concise text gives a good overview of the cars development and production, also racing and custom road versions.
