Product Description

Product Description
The re-issue of this first volume of the history of Jaguar in motorsport, first published in 1982 and generally considered to be the definitive work on the subject, gives Jaguar enthusiasts the chance to obtain what has become a much sought-after collectors' item. This work was originally intended to be a single volume but the award-winning author's research unearthed such a wealth of new discoveries and previously unpublished photographs that it was decided to produce two. These will be available individually or as a slip-cased set.

About the Author
Andrew Whyte, who died in 1988, was employed by Jaguar for most of his working life, starting as an apprentice. Later, after a stint as a Motoring News columnist, he returned to Jaguar as magazine editor, later becoming PR manager under 'Lofty' England. This work, which received rave reviews, was described by Autocar as 'a real masterpiece'.

5.0 out of 5 stars As dominant as the cars it describes, 30 Aug 2003
By Peter Fenelon - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Whyte was Jaguar's PR man for many years, a true marque enthusiast and insider, and his two-volume history of Jaguar's racing programme is a classic of racing history.

The first volume covers the XK120 and C-type in racing, with attention also given to Jaguar's pre-history as Swallow Sidecars and to the XK120's rallying career.

Whyte assembled an awe-inspiring amount of evidence to back up his story - the appendices that accompany the main text are just as fascinating (including a marvellous contemporary account by Patrick Head's father of his C-type experiences in Scandinavia).

Tells you everything you could possibly want to know about how Jaguar went racing in the early days, and does it with style, occasional humour and the passion that only a true enthusiast could bring. Splendid.
