Description:

Jaguar  Century   chronicles one of the auto industry's most revered car brands, from the Jaguar SS sporting saloon to today's F-Type sports cars, F-PACE SUV, and X-Type sedans-filled with images, history, and in-depth analyses of the incredible cars created year after year. 

Automotive historian Giles Chapman showcases how company visionaries   William Lyons and William Walmsley   developed the brand in the trying economic times leading up to World War II before resetting Jaguar during England's bleak postwar years, first with its   XK120  , then the   XK140 and XK150  . Sporting saloons (i.e., sedans) like the   Mark 2 and Mark X   established further standards for four-door luxury in the 1950s and '60s, while the stunning   E-Type   unveiled in 1961 became a holy grail of automotive design and gave Jaguar a genuine 150-miles-per-hour   sports car  . The story continues to the present, tracing all of Jaguar's ups and downs right up to the acclaimed   all-electric I-PACE  . Chapman also covers Jaguar's   rich motorsport heritage  , including open-wheel   Formula 1   racers and the sports cars that went head-to-head with Ferrari, Porsche, and others at legendary circuits such as   Le Mans   over the decades.

From pre-Depression motorcycle sidecars hammered out in a modest shop in Coventry to the cutting edge of 21st century automotive technology,   Jaguar Century   offers a full review of British design and engineering at its finest. The book is   illustrated with hundreds of historic, contemporary, and racing photographs  , as well as detailed text. It is a definitive volume no Jaguar enthusiast can be without.
