4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent History of the XJ Series I,II,III Cars, June 7, 2000
The history of a Jaguar model is once again penned by the deft hands of Nigel Thorly. This book describes in detail all three series of the XJ cars, their racing history (yes, they have one), and how to select and restore a car.

This book only covers Jaguar XJ6 and XJ12 cars from the early '70s through the late '80s. Many of the newer Jaguar XJ cars badged with the XJ6 are of the XJ-40 or revised variety. It is easy to spot a model covered by this book. Simply look for the dual-fuel tank fillers, one on each side of the trunk.

The only disappointment in this book was the minimal coverage of the XJ6C and XJ12C models. These two-door coupes were produced in very small numbers, and few of them remain.

1.0 out of 5 stars Superbly detailed review of the evolution of the XJ Jaguars, December 12, 1996
By A Customer
Unlike other books about the Jaguar XJ Series, Thorley's goes into detail about colour schemes, changes in options, pricing, and all the other details about the XJ that an enthusiast might want to know. Interested in whether a UK-Spec Sovereign had the same seats as a US-Spec Daimler Vanden Plas? Thorley will tell you. Curious about whether Silver Frost Metallic was offered on 1985 cars? Thorley will tell you. A superb reference for XJ fanatics, and much more detailed than the other XJ books by Skilleter and Robson

What can I say? This is simply another great book written by the Jaguar expert. It tells you everything that you want to know about this classic model.
