A celebration and history of the Jaguar XK sports car from 1948 to the end of production in 1961.

A welcome addition to the Great Cars Series, this volume focuses on the Jaguar XK 120, 140, and 150 model ranges. The XK120 established Jaguar as a world-renowned marque, providing a remarkable combination of style, world-beating performance and innovative engineering, and the subsequent XK-40 and XK150 maintained Jaguar's position as a leading sports car manufacturer. With the aid of archive images and stunning studio photography, respected Jaguar historian Nigel Thorley tells the story of these classic cars.
