Jaguar-The Complete Works

July 7, 2014

Jaguar The Complete Works, by Nigel Thorley. Bay View Books, £19.95.

I nearly fell into the jaded reviewer’s trap of saying “nothing new here”; while broadly true, that perhaps shouldn’t be such a damning comment. If you haven’t got a Jaguar book, this is a good overall runthrough, nicely presented, with tabular summaries for each model and well-chosen pictures from Swallow sidecar to supercharged XJR. And in fact there are some novelties in the ‘oddities’ chapter, including the only Mk1 XJ Coupe and the long-wheelbase XJS. GC

Deputy editor

Bravely ignoring his degree in industrial design after discovering night rallies in a Renault 8, GC joined Motor Sport by accident, in the Teesdale days around 1982 when Jenks and WB were office regulars and Mr Tee ruled with a rod of cardboard. He took part in some of the early historic rallies, winning one of the Pirelli Marathons, and regularly runs his Mk2 Jaguar in road events.
