Sehr Umfangreiche Beschreibung der Entwicklung und der Produktionszeit des "schönsten Autos" der Welt. Ein Muss für jeden E-Type Fan. Das Buch ist in Englisch geschrieben, aber sehr gut auch für "not native speaker" verständlich geschrieben. Tolle Bilder, Originaldokumente und Originalzeichnungen aus der Entwicklungszeit des E-Types

The greatest of all works on the magnificent Jaguar E-type.
6. Juli 1997
Von Ein Kunde
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Rarely does a book's title reflect accurately on its contents, as does Phillip Porter's "Jaguar E-type, The definitive history". One's initial impression is of physical presence, for this is a
massive work in all respects. Leafing through the book for the first time, one is immediately
struck by a sense of awe that this could possibly represent the work of one man. There can be
no doubt this is Porter's legacy, for which he laboured long and hard and gave much of himself.
The foreword is written by sportsman Briggs Cunningham, hinting that the car's racing heritage
will figure prominently within. This is indeed the case, for fully a third of the content is dedicated to competition. The greater volume of the book, however, deals with the production car, against an historical timeline that begins with its evolution and conception and extends, rather than ends, with the E-type as it continues to exist today.
It is clear that Porter is unabashedly passionate about this greatest of all sportscars, but he masterfully avoids what could have been a eulogy and creates both a powerful reference work
and an entertaining read. "The definitive history" brings together a multitude of colourful
personalities and anecdotes and weaves these into a framework of facts, insights and specifications. There are literally hundreds of photographs and illustrations, some of which will be familiar to those who have read other books on the subject but the vast majority of which have never been published before.
History and objectivity are often mutually exclusive and if there can be fault found in this work it would be historian's soft disdain for cars which diverged from the pure lines of the Series 1 two-seaters. This, however, does nothing to detract from what is an otherwise magnificient
accomplishment. There will be no other comprehensive histories written about the legendary Jaguar E-type, for none could possibly better this one.

Massive tome, excruciatingly detailed.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Phillip Porter's reference on the Jaguar E-Type that other authors cite as their source. This is a must read if you are at all interested in E-Types. Some of it may not be too flattering to Sir Wm Lyons or Jaguar but it tells the story as only an insider could. You will learn about the inspiration, design, developement, manufacture and end of production of the model

A massive effort. One of the most complete references ever
to E-Type history. Hundreds of black and white and color
illustrations. Insights into design, manufacturing, marketing
and service. Production counts, export statistics, model
specifications. This is not a repair book. It is a
comprehensive history.
