Practical Jaguar Ownership,
This review is from: Practical Jaguar Ownership: How to Extend the Life of a Well-Worn "Cat" (Marques & Models) (Hardcover)
It may be a good book if you're dealing with VERY old jaguars, but it's almost useless if you have a Jaguar of less than 30 years old. It contains good advice regarding maintenance of leather and wood interiors. It did not said too much about the XJ-S, a model that definetly will be a classic and is a wonderful piece of machine.

Is not a book for mechanics,
By A Customer
This review is from: Practical Jaguar Ownership: How to Extend the Life of a Well-Worn "Cat" (Marques & Models) (Hardcover)
This book focused on older jaguar models from 1940 to 1975. It is mainly a collection of personal stories of the author and his cars. It talks a little about interior restoration and jaguar automobilia for the collector enthusiast. However, it lacks any value regarding mechanical matters such as engine, brakes or general maintenance details.
