Founded in 1935 by William Lyons, the car company that would be called Jaguar after the Second World War soon became established as a manufacturer of innovative, high-performance sports cars. In this book, motoring expert Ray Hutton reveals the full inside story of Jaguar, not only through its cars but also the personalities and changes of ownership that accompanied Jaguar through the years. From the competitive success of the early SS sports cars and the launch of the Jaguar XK120 car and engine in 1948, through the stunning arrival of the Jaguar E-Type, icon of the swinging sixties, the range of sporting saloons such as the 2.4 and S-Type and the launch of what became the definitive Jaguar for 20 years in the form of the XJ6, Jaguar continued to be a byword for quality and exceptional performance. As this book shows, Jaguar also had to navigate the tight bends of changing ownership against the backdrop of industrial unrest in the British motoring industry. While other famous British car marques were consigned to history, however, Jaguar somehow found a way to renew itself and met the challenges of new markets and tastes. Independent ownership under Sir John Egan in the 1980s was followed by ownership by Ford and the launch of new models such as the X-Type, which broke the traditional design mold. After sale to Tata Motors, Jaguar reinvented itself again with the successful F-Pace SUV. Based on the author's inside knowledge and expertise in the British car industry, this book is an essential companion to Britain's most successful luxury sporting car manufacturer.

Biography & History

Amberley Publishing

This sumptuous book tells the story of one of the world’s most important racing cars. Always raced in Gulf’s iconic blue-and- orange colours, this Ford GT40, known by its chassis number ‘1075’, won the Le Mans 24 Hours not just once but twice, in 1968 and 1969, and the second victory came after the closest fight ever seen at the finish of this great endurance race. Four other championship wins – at Brands Hatch, Spa, Watkins Glen and Sebring – add to this GT40’s distinction as the very best of its breed, driven by ‘greats’ such as Jacky Ickx, Pedro Rodríguez and Brian Redman. The car’s entire competition life is covered in fascinating detail, together with biographies of its drivers and insights into John Wyer’s crack team that ran it, all supported by a fine collection of period photographs.

Jewels in the Crown, winner of the 2013 Montagu Trophy by the Guild of Motoring Writers, provides an analysis of Tata’s acquisition of Jaguar and Land Rover in 2008, and subsequent transformation of their fortunes, written by an award-winning motoring writer. Ray Hutton goes behind the scenes to examine how Tata have not only returned the business to profit, but also transformed the public image of these long-established British brands. At the time of the takeover, both brands (once the crown jewels of the British motor industry) had been tarnished by a patchy reputation for quality and reliability. Tata bought a new approach to the business, with fast decision-making and a solid, sustainable, long-term strategy. Factory efficiency was improved and a major export drive accompanied by a succession of carefully-positioned new models, from the Jaguar XJ Saloon and F-Type sports car to the Evoque and the new, lighter but more luxurious Range Rover flagship. The result was a remarkable change of fortunes. This book shows how it was done.
