This book gives an insight into a little-known yet exciting and innovative period in Jaguar history. It’s a fascinating and very personal account by Peter Wilson of life inside Jaguar’s competition department in the 1960s, a time when it was still very active even though the official works team had withdrawn after the 1956 season.

Peter Wilson began his career at a small Carlisle garage but in 1961 embarked on an engineering apprenticeship at Jaguar. Within two years he had progressed to the company’s competition department where for over five years he was involved in a multitude of exciting projects. Highlights of the eight chapters and 272 pages include:-

E2A, the new works competition car * The Mk 2 GT saloon * the four-seater E-type * the E-type goes racing * the Mk X convention * building the lightweight E-type * E2A and Maxaret brakes * the 2+2 E-type * the Cunningham Le Mans E-type * Bob Blake and the S-type * * the Coombs power boat * racing 4 WPD * E-type works tuning booklet * XJ13 * Sir William’s test drive

This is truly an inside story, told by someone who really was there and knew many of the Jaguar ‘giants’ including Bill Heynes, Malcolm Sayer, Bob Blake and Harry Mundy. PLUS A SURPRISE REVELATION ABOUT JAGUAR’S F1 ASPIRATIONS IN THE 1960s, INCLUDING A PULL-OUT A2 WORKS DRAWING REPRODUCTION!

Large format softback, over 220 photographs, drawings and period reports
