Jaguar XJ-S (1975-1996): boeken - historie en modellen

Jaguar XJ-S - The Complete Story

James Taylor remembers very well the disappointment among his petrol-head friends when the XJ-S was announced in 1975. It was not a replacement for the legendary E-type; its colours were uninspired; and its interior was drab.
All credit, then, to those people at Jaguar who truly believed in the car and, over a period of nearly 20 years, turned the ugly duckling into a swan.
From the moment the XJ-S HE arrived in 1981, there seemed to be renewed hope, and from then on, the car went from strength to strength to become the much-admired grand tourer it always should have been.

The book contains a timeline of the key events in the history of the XJ-S and an overview of the evolution of the XJ-S from the XJ27 prototype. There are Appendices covering identification/serial numbers, UK showroom prices through the years and sales in the US by year.

Jaguar XJ-S: Hommage an den Super-GT

Der Jaguar XJ-S zählt als einer der ganz grossen Gran Turismos längst zu den Klassikern der Automobil-Geschichte. Als Nachfolger des höchst charismatischen E-Type hatte er es zunächst schwer, doch in einundzwanzigjähriger Bauzeit ist die Fangemeinde immer weiter gewachsen.

Dieses Buch schildert lückenlos die Geschichte des phantastischen Reisewagens, bietet eine Kaufberatung, gibt Tipps für Betrieb und Restaurierung - und jede Menge grossartige Bilder.
