Description
By 1961 the motoring public were well used to Jaguars; what with their striking appearance, reliability and speed, value for money and race winning habits. The XK had moved slightly away from being a rough, tough sports car; the 150 just teetering on being more ' plush than rush' . Their saloons were certainly fast but were obviously more ' gin palace than paddock bar' . Then the E Type was announced, and everyone was taken by surprise.: here was a smooth, comfortable, even cheap, sports two seater of the English-spirit with 150 mph potential. Denis Jenkinson plots the car's development story and at the same time interlaces his own vast experience of two E Types with which he criss-crossed Europe over hundreds of thousands of miles.
