Description
Geneva, 15 March 1961. When the covers came off the Jaguar E-Type, a room full of the world's most jaded motoring writers fell silent. The bonnet was impossibly long, the cabin a perfect teardrop — and the price was £2,097, less than half a comparable Ferrari. Enzo Ferrari himself reportedly called it the most beautiful car ever made.
The Jaguar E-Type: The Most Beautiful Car Ever Made is the full story of a revolution in both design and accessibility. Here is Malcolm Sayer, the aircraft mathematician who derived every curve from an equation; Sir William Lyons, who judged a line by eye to the fraction of an inch; and Norman Dewis's legendary midnight dash to Geneva.
From the D-Type's Le Mans DNA and the glorious XK straight-six to the swinging-sixties stardom, the Series I/II/III evolution, and the questions of restoration and authenticity — a romantic, authoritative account of the moment beauty and engineering achieved perfect, unrepeatable alignment.
Volume III of the Icons of Motoring series.
