Ever since 1935 the Jaguar motor car has stood for style, performance, luxury, and value for money.
This book introduces the people, past and present, who helped give the Jaguar its distinction, and describes everything the company has ever made. This edition maintains its position as the definitive history of a great British car.
Winner of the prestigious Montagu Trophy, the book covers the full history of the company, from the 1920s with William Lyons' first business venture manufacturing the Swallow sidecar, and its success as a private company under the energetic leadership of John Egan, through to 1989 when it was purchased by Ford, and on to the present day.

Fondée en 1922 sous le nom de Swallow Sidecar Company par William Lyons, la société devint SS Cars Ltd. en 1934, dont les initiales étaient SSC. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la société ne produit aucune voiture car elle participe à l'effort de guerre.
En 1945, elle va enfin pouvoir recommencer à produire pour des clients privés et prit le nom de Jaguar pour ne pas évoquer les SS allemands de sinistre mémoire
