The 2.4 litre Jaguar saloon created a sensation when it was launched in 1956 -for looks, price and performance there was nothing to match it. Its 3.4 litre cousin, and the subsequent Mark II range of 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8 litre cars, all enjoyed great popularity, and while many of their contemporaries have faded from memory this splendid range of sports saloons is far from forgotten. This informed and informative book recalls them, from concept to restoration. For today's enthusiast these Jaguars are still comparatively inexpensive and their mechanical components are rugged and long-lived. The larger-engined models provide acceleration and speed to satisfy most, and those smooth lines have not dated. Writing from the real experience, the author covers development history, design changes and production modifications, and looks at the illustrious racing and record-breaking stories. He discusses the useability of surviving cars, assesses the pleasure of buying and owning one, sets the record straight as regards the famous Coombs-modified cars, tracks down the elusive 340 3.8 litre and looks into many other aspects of these classics over three decades. Of particular value to owner and prospective owner alike are a detailed survey of factory production modifications, enabling any individual car to be placed in the continuing cycle of modifications and improvements, and a careful assessment of particular rust problems. With over 130 illustrations in colour and black-and-white, including diagrams and line drawings, this is an authoritative and intriguing companion for all Jaguar enthusiasts.
