Description
The XK8: A Grand Tourer in the Jaguar Tradition Graham Robson's comprehensive history of the Jaguar XK8 is a fascinating story of design, engineering, and production. Code-named X100, this sleek grand tourer was intended to replace the XJS and feature an all-new V8 engine. With its powerful forced-induction engine, it would go on to become one of the most iconic sports cars of the 20th century. From conception to its eventual discontinuation, Graham Robson draws on his extensive knowledge as a motoring historian and former Jaguar apprentice to bring this story to life. This detailed account covers every aspect of the XK8's development, making it an essential read for anyone interested in Jaguar's rich history or classic sports cars. With 192 pages of engaging narrative and stunning photographs, The Complete Story is a must-have for any car enthusiast or Jaguar aficionado.
