Book Review: Classic Jaguar XK The 6-Cylinder Cars (1948 1970) reviewed by Trevor Catt Author: Brian Laban (2016) Publisher: Crowood Press Hardback, 12 Chapters, 208 pages Retail Price: 25.00 An extremely well laid out hard-back book, detailing the history of the XK range of Jaguars with many black & white and colour photographs, illustrations and supporting data. The Author has successfully covered the range of XKs from the inception in 1948 to the E-Type, with each chapter chronologically 8 detailing the marque and history of the manufacturer s technological evolution within that era.
The Jaguar XK was incredibly successful in racing and this has been covered in detail with particular mention to the 24 Hours of Le Mans race when Jaguar dominated the Motorsport world in the 1950 s. The Racing Cousins such as the Lightweight E-Types and the Lister Knobbly have also been covered with sufficient detail without going too in-depth to become a specialist publication of each variation. There are plenty of books available about each of the specialist racing Jaguars to satisfy the enquiring reader s curiosity. At the end of each chapter is a summary of the specifications of each model from that particular era with technical and performance information. Each chapter amplifies the innovative evolution of each of the XK models over a period of time, everything from the engine power output to the suspension set-up. Experience gained from Jaguars successful competition in a variety of Motorsport events such as endurance, rally, circuit and road races. Overall, this book delivers a definitive overview of the variety of XK s produced over a 22-year span and has the added benefit of being both easy to read but also a superb reference book for those wishing to study the XK models in more depth. 9 Unfortunately, this is the well-respected Authors final offering to the world of motoring books due to his demise in January 2017.
Odds and sods Ten firefighters spend seven hours trying to pluck a cockatiel from a tree in an operation which cost the taxpayer 4000. But this proved pointless when the bird flew down from the tree in Stroke when she spotted her owners bright pink dressing gown. Two beer-loving pals raised a toast after visiting their 1800th bar in a pub crawl which has lasted 30 years. Peter Hill and John Drew, the last remaining from a group of 20 tipplers, have drunk in a different pub every week since 1984, when a pint was only 64p. They have travelled to pubs in every county in the UK.
