Hi to Everyone,

I am currently researching/writing a short book titled "THE CARS THAT SAVED A COMPANY"  --  "The story of Jaguar based on the story of its cars. "

This is a non commercial enterprise for International Strategic Management, and one of the things I would like to include is what      owners think about their cars  --  just a small review for each model with some photographs if possible.

There is no rush and if I get enough reviews in the next 3 or 4 months I will be very happy.

Reviews and queries should be sent to me by email and my address is  [email protected]  or telephone me on 07737 969239 or landline  --  just ask me for my number.

All review will be proof read and any changes agreed with the writer, although I expect the latter will not be necessary. 

I hope members can assist  --  I would really appreciate you help.

Regards,

Peter.

 

Hi Peter

More than Happy to help on this, my first year of ownership is fast approaching, and would like to comment on my thoughts anyway

Regards

Steve

and good luck with the book!

Thanks Steve, 

I am pleased you can help.  When I have finished I will send you a draft copy.

Regards

Peter.

Peter, I'd be pleased to do so but I wonder whether there might be a bias towards the S-Type?

Hi All, 

This is a post I made on June 20th 2016.

I did say that I was writing/researching a short book, but time turned it into a longer book.

The information I obtained came in part  from the JOC members but much from newspapers of the time, personal knowledge and Wikipedia.  I also had talks with Mary Sayer, the daughter of the late Malcolm Sayer, a most prominent designer of several Jaguars, including the E type.  I also had a very useful discussion with Sir John Egan who was the Chief Executive Officer of Jaguar Cars and was the  man who saved Jaguar from disappearing from the Automotive Industry. Having a morning with Sir John in his house in Warwick was extremely enlightening.

The book is now finished, proof read, and now at the printers.  It also has a new title   "Jaguar  --  the Cars and the People."  

If you want more information about the book it is to be found at   ---  Transporterama.co.uk  --  the online bookseller.

The book consists of the history of Jaguar Cars from Swallow Sidecars until 2007 when TATA took over Jaguar [That may be another book].

I think the book is a good read [I would say that, wouldn't I?]  It covers the cars that Jaguar build plus the people who made them.

Regards,

Peter.
