Description
The Story of Jaguar is a beautifully designed, gift-sized celebration of this stunning car manufacturer.
With their fabulous looks and performance, Jaguar's cars have always been synonymous with speed and style, with the iconic leaping jaguar mascot adorning its cars for 90 years. In The Story of Jaguar, every aspect of this legendary brand's success is celebrated, from its beginnings in 1935 to its status as one of the world's most famous manufacturers.
Jaguar has produced some of the most sought-after cars ever made. From the fabled C-Type and D-Type Le Mans-winning racers of the 1950s to the stunning E-Type of the 1960s, and from the XK120 and XK220—respectively the fastest cars of their eras—to the now fully electric range of future-facing cars, no automobile manufacturer has ever offered more.
Packed with stunning photography and fascinating text, The Story of Jaguar charts the history of this exceptional marque in a perfect gift package.
