Between 1950 and 1970 Jaguar produced six different big saloon ranges, although these in practice amounted to just two basic designs. The first design covered the 1950s and began with the Mk VII, which became the Mk VIIM in 1954, the Mk VIII in 1956 and then the Mk IX in 1958. The second design covered the 1960s beginning with the Mk X in 1961, which became the 420G. This is a book of contemporary road tests, new model introductions, technical data, history and buying used. Models covered include: Mk VII, Mk VIIM VIII, Mk IX, Mk X and 420G.
Replacing the 420G saloons, MkIIs and S-types the XJ6 became a world standard for refinement and luxury. The Series I lacked rear legroom and the 2.8-litre engine acquired an unfortunate reputation. The long-wheelbase XJ6L was announced in 1972 and became standard on the Series II cars. The 2.8-litre engine was replaced by a 3.4-litre while the short-wheelbase came back in 1973 under the two-door coupT XJ6C. Due to poor relations in the British motor industry in the mid to late-seventies quality suffered appallingly with the result that there are good and bad examples of Jaguar XJs from this period. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, technical & specification data, new model intro's, long-term tests, buyers guide. Models covered include: 2.8, 4.2, 3.4, Daimler Sovereign, Daimler 4.2 Auto., Series II 4.2, XJ6L, XJ6C, XJ12C, Convertible.

A string of Le Mans victories at the beginning of the 1950s provided an important boost to sales of the XK-engined cars. As a result makers of specialist racing cars created their own racers using the XK engine. Nevertheless the most popular of the XK-engined racers were Jaguar's own, the C-type and D-type. The D-type aroused such interest that Jaguar turned it into a road-going model known as the XK-SS. In later years the D-type was recreated by Lynx Engineering, a testimony to the car's enduring appeal. This is a book of contemporary road tests, new model introductions, technical and specification data, racing, driver's impressions, history. Models covered include: C-Type, D-Type, Cooper-Jaguar, HWM-Jaguar, Tojeiro-Jaguar, XKSS, Lister-Jaguar, Cunningham Le Mans, and Lynx.
This book gives readers information on road and comparison tests, specifications, history, performance and technical data, racing and driving, and long term reports.
The XJS was introduced in Sept. 1975 at a time when Jaguar had a reputation for poor reliability. The V12 engine was hit by the fuel crisis but the HE engine solved that problem and in 1981 finish and reliability were greatly improved making the post 1981 cars more desirable. The introduction of the 6-cylinder model in 1984 boosted its popularity, and sales in 1987 were nearly eight times those of 1981. Other models followed including cabriolets and convertibles. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, technical and specification data, new model intro's, tuning, travel, driver's impressions, buying second hand and racing. Models covered include: Automatic, Tullius, convertible, HE, HE Automatic, Eventer, 3.6C, Cabriolet, TWR, XJ-SC.
