This review is from: You & Your Jaguar XJS: Buying,Enjoying,Maintaining,Modifying (Hardcover)

For those who are Jag fans, Mr.Thornley has covered almost all the Jaguar models, and has done so with expertise. The data presented on the XJS models is vast, and varied, and will of course give you a headache if you try to read it all in one evening. I have a fair automotive book collection, and some volumes I keep, and others I sell or donate. Not this one. It really is a keeper.
