Review for The Rise of Jaguar
from Jaguar Enthusiast
December 2006
UK
Published earlier in the year, this work also covers the pushrod models but all of them from the Swallow bodied cars, through SS and into the post-war Jaguar models up to the including Mark V.
Published by Veloce and written by Barrie Price(established motoring enthusiast who still owns the assets of the Lea Francis Car Company), his excellent memories of the heady days of Standard and SS/Jaguar provide an excellent background to this book. In 176 pages, the informative text is supported by a significant number of black and white period photographs of the people, the cars and the works. At the end of the book there are reproductions of documentation from Rolls-Royce about their experiences when they purchased a Jaguar to establish how the company and the cars had quickly reached such popularity
