Synopsis
The author of Classic Car Gallery &“covers the Jaguar and its various incarnations with lovingly snappy prose . . . to excite the passions of Jaguar-mania&” (The Historical Miniatures Gaming Society). The third book in the new CarCraft series, Jaguar E-Type, frames the legend of what many call the world&’s most beautiful car design. Sir William Lyons and Malcolm Sayer carved automotive history with this car across its 1960s-1970s incarnations from roadster to coupé amid the fitting of Straight-Six, to V12 engines. With its new definition of sculptural styling, performance, handling and innovative style, the E-Type or XKE series in the USA, created a car of global impact that remains a great classic of all time. Here, experienced automotive writer, and industrial designer, Lance Cole pays tribute to the car in a detailed yet engaging commentary. New photography, the design story, and full coverage of the modeling options in synthetic materials and die cast metals, create a narrative of vital interest.The aim of the innovative CarCraft series is to provide modelmakers and car enthusiasts with a new standard of primarily visual reference of both full-size cars and their scale models. Each book contains detailed technical information imparted through drawings and photographs while the meticulously researched full-color profiles provides a complete reference for paint schemes and markings. In addition, every volume of the CarCraft series features summaries of design histories and operational careers, and reviews of available kits. &“This book will be of great interest to modelers planning on doing a Jaguar model and also to car enthusiasts.&”—AMPS Indianapolis
