The Jaguar XK engine is most certainly a legend in its own lifetime. With its variable capacity and application from the XK120 Sports car, to C and D Type race cars, Jaguar produced a winning engine. In this book, Doug Nye looks at the golden era of sports racing cars, ‘powered by Jaguar’. With a chapter covering the engine, he then moves on to look at the first Jaguar powered specials, such as the LGS-Jaguar which ran at Shelely Walsh in 1957, but it is the four main sports car companies which are the focus: HWM, with George Abecassis and John Heath, the Cooper Jaguars, by John Cooper and his company, then onto Tojerio and Lister, with the designs of John Tojeiro and Brian Lister being placed into production. But of all those it is the Lister Jaguars and Archie Scott Brown that capture the imagination of many enthusiasts. Here Nye has brought together a super collection of information, not only in the construction of the cars and their racing exploits, but also with the Lister mysteries. There is a selection of magazine articles reprinted from the period as well as an interesting selection of period colour photographs. To conclude this work, Nye has produced a chassis register, to give an over view of individual car histories, from HWM, Cooper and, Tojeiro and Lister, including the Centenary Edition late built Factory Listers, chassis series 140.
