The definitive international history of Jaguar’s classic grand tourer, the XJ-S, from inception until the end of production.

INTEREST IN Jaguar's long-served and long-legged XJ-S is on the rise, and this book from prolific author Long is a good introduction to the model. Octane Fascinating stuff Classic Cars Ten points from the jury for Veloce and Brian Long. Well done! Oldtimer Magazine/ Dreamcar Magazine packs in lots of detail, all accompanied by a huge selection of images. Auto Express If you are contemplating purchasing one of these complex but immensely satisfying grand tourers you will not begrudge the GBP45 being asked for this book - indeed it would be folly to proceed without reading it in minute detail ... For the rest of us, however, the trials and tribulations of how the talented Jaguar engineers and managers got the XJ-S to market and beyond just makes for fascinating reading and reflects the turmoil going on within the wider group and the British motor industry as a whole.
