To celebrate the Jaguar E-type's 50th anniversary this year, Haynes is releasing an all-new, fully updated edition of Jaguar E-type: The Definitive History, the multiple award-winning book on one of the most charismatic and iconic cars of all time.
To mark the anniversary, this year's Silverstone Classic (22-24 July) included two E-type races and a variety of displays, with more than a thousand racing and road-going E-types attending over the weekend.
In period the E-type was an emblem of the Swinging Sixties, but has become a timeless icon of British style and design, and remains a vital part of our national consciousness.
Originally published in 1989, the first edition of Jaguar E-type: The Definitive History remained in print for over 20 years. More than 150 interviews were conducted during the writing of the book, and insights and recollections come from leading Jaguar personnel such as 'Lofty' England, Bill Heynes and Norman Dewis, as well as significant E-type racing figures such as Sir Jackie Stewart, Roy Salvadori and Bob Tullius.
The words are accompanied by a vast array of lavish images, many new to this 2nd edition, including hundreds of colour photos together with facsimile reproductions of test logs, factory reports and press releases.
Author:
Philip Porter is a recognised authority on Jaguars in general and the E-type in particular. Besides many hundreds of magazine articles, he has written 26 books, 18 of them on Jaguar subjects. He runs The E-type Club, which has 1,200 members in more than 50 countries, and owns the oldest surviving E-type and the roadster which featured in The Italian Job movie.
