The XJ-S was Jaguar's most controversial car. Despite offering a superb blend of performance and refinement it was a radical departure in style from the elegant E-type. It appeared at a time when fuel-thirsty luxury cars were unfashionable. However, Jaguar stuck with the car and the result is a twenty-one year production history and a firm place in the classic jaguar list. New in paperback for 2007, this will be essential reading for all fans of this classic sporting Jaguar. The XJ-S is one of the most modern of the Jaguar cars to be accorded classic car status. Complete development history of the classic sporting Jaguar XJ-S from 1975 - 1996 is covered. Fully illustated with 120 black & white archive photographs and an 8 page colour section. Graham Robson is a renowned motoring journalist and author. New edition in paperback for 2007.
