The aim of this innovative 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-colour 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. 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 coup 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 modelling options in synthetic materials and die cast metals,
create a narrative of vital interest.
