By Philip Porter

This 'Great Cars' book outlines in exhaustive detail the history of the most important competition Jaguar E-type.  Run by John Coombs with factory support and driven by some of the best racing drivers of the day, this car took part in the E-type’s first motor race and later became the prototype all-aluminium Lightweight E.

The book is contained within a red cloth slipcase featuring a working bonnet buckle style attachment which must be released to remove the book itself. Bound in grey leather and featuring silver gilt-edged pages and bevelled corners, the book also features metal plate reproductions of the car's two number plates - BUY 1 on the front and 4 WPD on the back.  Each copy is signed by Philip Porter.
