Description
The Jaguar Story The Jaguar name is synonymous with style, power, performance, luxury and an intangible element of Britishness. Yet, the company's humble beginnings in a Blackpool backstreet might surprise you. Founder William Lyons' extraordinary vision transformed this modest enterprise into a maker of stylish car bodywork, before it took its first steps towards becoming a proper manufacturer in 1932. As the company evolved, so did its reputation for superb engines, stunning design, and epic racing victories. Jaguar Cars was formed in 1945, marking the beginning of a remarkable journey. With the XF and new F-type, the company is once again a world beater. Here, Giles Chapman tells the entire, astounding story of Jaguar's transformation from a small motorbike sidecar maker to a global automotive icon.
