Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons had a terrific hit on his hands
when he launched the 'compact' 2.4 Litre sports saloon in 1956.
Motorists loved it, and those wanting more thrills were soon
offered the 'hot' 120mph 3.4 Litre a year later. Both were replaced
in 1960 by the Mark II models, which added a 3.8 Litre, and from
there the range was developed and expanded with the long-booted
S-Type of 1964, the 4.2 Litre 420 of 1967, and the final 240/340
models of 1968. Alongside there were the Daimler V8 and Sovereign
models. The success of this family of cars can be attributed to
Lyons's faultless instinct for what buyers wanted and his unerring
eye when it came to styling his cars. And of course there was the
fabulous six-cylinder XK engine which powered all Jaguars from 1948
through to 1985, with the equally inspired V8 in the Daimler. All
these cars have enjoyed an exalted classic status for years, and
the matter of originality has become more and more important to
owners and prospective owners today. Here Nigel Thorley, the
unrivaled expert on the cars who has been writing about them for
more than 30 years, provides all the information that can be
expected from books in our acclaimed Factory-Original series. Model
by model, with hundreds of specially commissioned colour
photographs of outstanding examples of the cars, he gives all the
details of correct original factory specifications and equipment in
all departments, right down to the tool kit.
