Ultimate E-type - The Competition Cars

by Philip Porter

Cars for the Connoisseur - Issue 123: July 2011

"I must confess that with 528 pages lack of time prevented me from reading this from cover to cover but whenever I dipped into it I couldn't  put it down - particularly enjoying the interviews with drivers from the past and present.  Another winner from the Porter Stable.  The lightweight Es are the ultimate Jaguar E-types, and this is the ultimate book on these very charismatic cars.  This is the complete story of the competition E-types that took on the might of Ferrari and often beat the legendary GTOs and the AC Cobras.  With copious unseen period photographs and original Jaguar reports, the glory years of the 60's are told as never before, including the build up to the Lightweights and the evolution of the ultimate Low Drag versions.

This book is packed full of material to fascinate and inform E-type and motor-racing enthusiasts.
