This review is from: Jaguar Mark I and II (Complete Companion) (Paperback)

Jaguar MkI and MkII : The Complete Companion is about the only remaining book about the Mk I/II cars specifically. Sure, other books on Jaguar cars touch on the Mk I/II, but this book describes them in detail.

Nigel Thorley begins by detailing the evolution of Jaguar automobiles that lead to the Mk I. Then the evolution turns to the Mk II, where Mr. Thorley delivers a comparison of the two models.

Other sections describe the racing history of the Mk I/II. A very useful section on purchase and restoration of a Mk I/II is also included. More sections cover some of the lesser known variations on the Mk II, including the 240/340, and the Daimler 2.5.

The first time I saw one of these cars, I immediately looked for a book that would provide me more information. This is the only one I found. And, I have to say it would be hard to ask for a better one. This book is an excellent read and a book worthy of any car book collection.
