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.
The aim of this innovative series is to provide model makers 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-color 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 coupé 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 modeling options
in synthetic materials and die cast metals, create a narrative of vital
interest.
