Excellent- More about Jaguar XJ-S: The Complete Story

James Taylor vividly recalls the disheartenment among his fellow petrol enthusiasts when the XJ-S was unveiled in 1975. It failed to live up to the legendary E-type's legacy, with uninspired colors and a dull interior. However, it was the vision and dedication of the individuals at Jaguar who believed in the car's potential that transformed it into a magnificent swan.
The XJ-S HE's arrival in 1981 breathed new life into the model, and it continued to excel, becoming the revered grand tourer it always deserved to be. The book provides a comprehensive timeline of the XJ-S's history, along with an overview of its evolution from the XJ27 prototype. Additionally, appendices cover identification/serial numbers, UK showroom prices, and sales figures in the US by year.
This captivating account not only sheds light on the XJ-S's journey but also showcases the unwavering commitment and talent of those involved in its creation. It serves as a testament to the power of vision and the transformative impact of dedication in the automotive industry.
