Jaguar Mk I and Mk II (incl. 240/340 & Daimler V8) — The Complete Companion

by Nigel Thorley

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.
