Jaguar E-Type Six-Cylinder Originality Guide

This book on Jaguar E-type Six-Cylinder originality is based on research spanning almost five decades, and Drs. Haddock and Mueller include here extensive new information from an exhaustive four-year examination of the Mueller collection of over fifty E-types.
As such, the book is archaeological in nature, based more on observations of cars than on factory publications or other literature.

The examination of principally un-restored cars, many partly or completely disassembled and still retaining their original configuration, permitted discovery of much detailed information not reported before.
The large volume of data used in the compilation of this work permitted statistical analysis of production changes that would be impossible with a smaller data-set. It significantly advances the understanding of the original configuration of these remarkable cars.

Jaguar E-Type: The Definitive History (2nd Edition)

Marking the 50th anniversary of the Jaguar E-type, this is an all-new updated edition of a classic book that was first published by Haynes in 1989 and remained in print for 20 years. The E-type was, and still is, a uniquely charismatic and important British sports car - and this remarkable book provides the ultimate tribute to it.
With lots of new information and illustrations, and presented in a handsome new design in a larger format, this book is a 'must-have' for all E-type enthusiasts.

A lifelong E-type enthusiast, Philip Porter has been writing about these cars for over 30 years and owns two fine examples: the oldest E-type in existence (the fixed-head coupé registered 9600 HP) and a roadster that appeared in the film The Italian Job. The author of 17 books on Jaguar subjects, he also runs the E-type Club, which serves owners and enthusiasts worldwide.

Key content:
- Early days: design and development; launch and reaction; specification and production.
- The 3.8 E-type: launch as roadster and fixed-head coupé; development and evolution; early racing activities with E-types; invading the USA as the XKE.
- The competition cars 1962-64: development of the lightweight versions for racing; their successes - and failures - in GT classes of international racing.
- The 4.2-litre E-type: a bigger engine for 1964; subsequent evolution through to Series II form; the 2+2 (a third body style) arrives in 1966.
- The Series III E-type: the final model gets Jaguar's awesome 5.3-litre V12 engine; evolution through to the end of production in 1974.
- The E-type in later years: the born-again racing car; variations on the theme; the E-type in miniature; the E-type today.
- Comprehensive appendices: specifications; the competition E-types and their results; production changes; models; sales figures.

Factory-Original Jaguar E-Type - The originality guide to 3.8, 4.2 and V12 models

During its 13-year production the E-type went through countless changes, large and small, and whether you are an owner, a prospective owner, a restorer, or simply one of the many E-type enthusiasts, it is important to know what the correct original specifications and equipment would have been on the day the cars left the Browns Lane factory, both for major components like the engine and for details like the gear lever gaiter or the spark plug leads.
These things matter not only because they give the satisfaction of having got things right but also because value increases with originality.

This book, then, is the comprehensive guide to originality in all departments for all models of E-type. Researched and written by the Archivist of Jaguar Heritage, who has the complete factory production records in his care, it covers engine and transmission, body panels, interior and exterior trim and badges, electrics, dashboard, instruments and switches, lamps, under-bonnet components, paint and trim colours - in fact everything right down to the tool kit, from the beginning of production to the end.

In the book, each model is given its own section which opens with a text description followed by specially commissioned colour photographs of outstanding examples of the cars, accompanied by extended captions.
All production changes are listed, either in the text or in tables alongside. For quick reference to accurate information, this formula is hard to beat, while the book also provides a definitive history of E-type production, enabling the reader to view every model and variant in very considerable detail.

Jaguar E-Type - British Motoring Masterpiece

The third book in the new CarCraft series, Jaguar E-Type, frames the legend of what many call the world's most beautiful car design. Sir William Lyons and Malcolm Sayer carved automotive history with this car across its 1960s-1970s incarnations from roadster to coup amid the fitting of Straight-Six, to V12 engines. With its new definition of sculptural styling, performance, handling and innovative style, the E-Type or XKE series in the USA, created a car of global impact that remains a great classic of all time.

Here, experienced automotive writer, and industrial designer, Lance Cole pays tribute to the car in a detailed yet engaging commentary. New photography, the design story, and full coverage of the modelling options in synthetic materials and die cast metals, create a narrative of vital interest.

The aim of the CarCraft series is to provide modelmakers and car enthusiasts with a new standard of primarily visual reference of both full-size cars and their scale models. Each book contains detailed technical information imparted through drawings and photographs while the meticulously researched full-colour profiles provides a complete reference for paint schemes and markings.
In addition, every volume of the CarCraft series features summaries of design histories and operational careers, and reviews of available kits.

Jaguar E-type Factory and Private Competition Cars

The racing E-type Jaguar emerged from the ambition of both the racing fraternity and Jaguar enthusiasts who wanted to take this iconic British sports car onto the track to see what it would do.
With official (and sometimes unofficial) help from the factory, the E-type was continually developed and modified from almost the first week that the first production car left the factory. Recognised the world over, this beautiful aerodynamic car remains as popular today as it was in the 1960s.

This fascinating book features period photographs and stories from the E-type's early racing days, describes how the cars evolved, and gives details of the lightweights, semi-lightweights and factory specials, the Le Mans cars, the Modsports era, and the replica lightweight racing phenomena.
The detailed appendices include lists of cars and drivers, book and magazine references. As the only book in its field to cover every aspect of the E-type's competitive history from 1961 until the present day, the author redresses the balance to detail the 95% of cars usually overlooked.

The reader will find hundreds of previously unseen photographs and new information, providing an invaluable source of material for anyone interested in this incredible sports car.

Jaguar Lightweight E-Type : The Autobiography of 49 FXN

This exhaustive book tells the story of the 1963 Lightweight Jaguar E-type that was famously given an aerodynamic makeover by Dr Samir Klat of Imperial College, London, for the 1964 season.
Driven by Peter Lumsden and Peter Sargent, the sleek car proved its high-speed potential by running third in the GT class at Le Mans that year until forced to retire soon after nightfall, but three months later it achieved a prestigious result - best-placed E-type and fifth in the GT class - at the Tourist Trophy at Goodwood.

Known by its registration number, 49 FXN, this celebrated Lightweight E-type has remained active for most of its life, and the exploits of a succession of notable owners form a fascinating aspect of the book.

- Complete coverage of the 1964 season, including the Le Mans 24 Hours and a return to the Nürburgring 1,000kms and Goodwood TT.
- One more season with Peter Lumsden, prior to his retirement from racing, brought wins at Crystal Palace and Brands Hatch in 1965.
- Competition through the second half of the 1960s with various owners, one of whom, John Scott-Davies, famously put 49 FXN into the lake at Oulton Park.
- The car's rise to collectability in later years documented in full, including restoration and historic racing.
- The rich racing record of 49 FXN includes guest appearances in recent years by star drivers such as Willie Green, Derek Bell and Gerhard Berger.
