3.0 out of 5 stars The bare facts, July 30, 1998

By A Customer

This title is a bare bones summary of the the history of Sir WIllaim Lyons' Swallow and Jaguar cars. It summarises the history of Jaguar and its predecessor, Swallow in sections divided into pre war, post war and 50s, 60s ,70s, 80s and 90s.

It does feature some quite pleasant colour photographs, and a few odd ones - there is a quite tacky gold XKE with gold plate where chrome should be, a hood (bonnet) with some kind of pattern painted on it, and a gold plated 'leaper' hood ornament. The XKE never came with the leaper , much less a gold one!

However there are many other gorgeous examples of original and rare Jaguar cars which are a feast for the eye.

As a concise beginner's pamphlet this book is adequate. If it's in depth technical specifications and objective criticism of the cars and their characters, then you will find better elsewhere, although not at this price, which is excellent value for money.

Don't buy this book for the information , buy it for the p! ictures.
