Jaguar E-type -
The Definitive History
(2nd edition)
"Jaguar historian Philip Porter has comprehensively revised his 1989 tome on the E-type for the model's 50th anniversary year, which sees the hardback grow in all dimensions even though it packs fewer pages than the original - 688 compared to 712.
It's more elegantly presented than the original, with more colour images and additional photos, while the text incorporates a number of factual corrections and adds detail to subjects such as the car's development, the competition careers of the lightweights and the V12's conception. Sections on E-type specials and the cars in use today are also brought up to date.
This edition is the only E-type book you need and well worth the asking price, even if you already own the first edition - Porter's book on the race cars (Ultimate E-type, reviewed in Classic Cars' July 2011 issue) is a useful companion."
