I have a collection of books & magazines dedicated to Jaguars, and specifically, to the E-Type. Recently, a fellow club member let me borrow his copy of Jaguar E-Type, The Definitive History by Phillip Porter. Wow! And to think I had read a lot about the legendary car. Treat yourself to a copy if you are a serious E-Type lover; even if you don't own one (yet)!

Before ordering, be sure your pacemaker is charged! The price is over $100, new; $85, used. Be sure you get the updated 2nd edition. You will not be dissatisfied!

Best book, ever, for E-Type lovers!

 

Great find, thanks!!!

 

$142.95 on Amazon, they had three new ones left until I visited, now they have two.

 

You might also enjoy Phillip Porter's The Most Famous Car in the World. The story about HP 9600. He owns it. A very well written book.

 

Do check around! I found my copy on eBay, $30 + shipping (which I think it was $3.99).
Like new when I got it, but I've read it now about 3 times, cover to cover.
Great book, and it helped me know what to look for so I got a car I could be happy with.
There were lots of things I may not have given any thought to, and realized I'd be happiest with a Series II... nicer shifting, better seats, but not cluttered down so much it's not really a sports car anymore. YMMV, but I feel it made a more informed buyer out of me. So, whatever you pay for the book, it's worth it!
