'We're certain that anyone who admires classic Jaguars is going to love this fine book, which tells the fascinating story of a remarkable car that won the 1936 International Alpine Trail and spent time as a works racer and hillclimb machine. Alongside plenty of technical detail the book covers development, owner histories and competition results so there's plenty to absorb, plus there's a wealth of period and contemporary photographs. A great addition to any collection.'
