Sporty saloons (sedans) such as the Mark 2 and Mark X raised the bar for four-door luxury even higher in the 1950s and 1960s, while the stunning E-Type unveiled in 1961 became a holy grail of automotive design, offering Jaguar a true 150-mph sports car. The story continues to the present, following all of Jaguar's ups and downs up to the acclaimed all-electric I-PACE. Chapman also covers Jaguar's rich motorsports history, including open-wheel Formula One racers and the sports cars that competed against Ferrari, Porsche and others at legendary tracks such as Le Mans over the decades.<\/p>\n<p>From pre-Depression motorcycle sidecars built in a modest Coventry store to the very latest automotive technology of the 21st century, Jaguar Century offers a comprehensive overview of the best of British design and engineering. The book is illustrated with hundreds of historic, contemporary and racing photographs and detailed text. It is a definitive book that no Jaguar enthusiast should miss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Specifications<\/strong><br \/>\nTitle: Jaguar Century<br \/>\nAuthor: Giles Chapman<br \/>\nPublisher: Quarto Publishing<br \/>\nSize: 320 x 250 x 31 mm<br \/>\nSize: 224 pages<br \/>\nWeight: 2108 grams<br \/>\nLanguage: English<br \/>\nMaterial: Hardcover<br \/>\nISBN: 9780760368664<\/p>\n<p><em>koffietafelboeken.nl is a preferred supplier in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.koffietafelboeken.nl\/en\/car-books\">car books<\/a>, of the world's most famous brands such as Ferrari,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.koffietafelboeken.nl\/en\/theme\/porsche-books\">Porsche<\/a>, Lamborgini, Aston Martin, Mercedes Benz, BMW and so many other great car brands.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>'Jaguar Century' coffee table book tells the story of one of the automotive industry's most respected car brands, from the sporty Jaguar SS saloon to today's F-Type sports cars, F-PACE SUV and X-Type sedans, full of images, history and in-depth analysis of the incredible cars built year after year.
