Bildband Jaguar 

The struggle for survival through the long night of the French 24-hour event is mirrored in the struggle for autonomy of the whole Jaguar concept during the 1970s and British Leyland nationalization. This aspect of the story is also covered - the boardroom battles, the determination of the Jaguar team to reassert their reputation for refinement and reliability in a period of great upheaval and uncertainty.

JAGUAR: HISTORY OF A CLASSIC MARQUE presents a comprehensive analysis of a company, and a product, that have become synonymous with style and state-of-the-art auto technology, to delight and inform anyone who has ever fallen under the Jaguar spell.

PHILIP PORTER is a motoring journalist and author of wide-ranging interests and exper-ience, but his greatest love has always been the Jaguar marque. He has been involved with Jaguar cars in so many ways: as a col-lector, in racing competiton, restoration, working for auto clubs, concours judging, historical research and of course writing. He was a car enthusiast from an early age and began competitive motoring while still at school. In the early 1970s he began collecting older cars, particularly Jaguars.

Today his collection includes several historic K's, a prototype E-type, the first production Fixed Head E-type and the twelfth open E. for a time he co-owned a restoration firm, the only one of its kind specializing in the E-type. He was editor of the X' magazine and later of Jaguar Driver. His books so far include a short general history of Jaguar, a book on the XK120's and 140's, and another on the XJ6. He is in close contact with past and present Jaguar employees. which lends his writing on the subject a greater immediacy and authority.
