5.0 out of 5 stars Once an E-Type Lover..., October 30, 2001

This review is from: Jaguar E-Type: A Celebration of the World's Favourite '60s Icon (Haynes Great Cars) (Hardcover)

This is a fantastic book. It's great to see the two earliest E-Types in existence, featured in the same pages. Someone looking for volumes of technical and restoration information will be disappointed, but the photography is excellent. The book also features photos not often seen in color, as well as early (and now rare) brochure material. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has even a passing interest in E-Types. It's an excellent value for the money.
