Sir William Lyons on Jaguar: The Legend Explained In His Own Words is a Jaguar book with a difference. In 1969 Sir William Lyons gave an address to the Institute of the Motor Industry under the title "The History of the Jaguar and the future of the Specialised car in the British Motor Industry".
Delivered just after the launch of the seminal XJ6 saloon, it is a captivating personal account that explains how he built up Jaguar and what, in his view, made Jaguars special and distinctive.
His extensive text forms the heart of this book, supported by a vivid array of archive photographs and rounded off with a preface by Michael Quinn (Sir William’s grandson) and an epilogue by Giles Chapman (the book’s originator and compiler) examining Sir William’s lasting legacy and the future of the great British brand he created.
Here, uniquely, is the essence of Jaguar by the man who started it all, and who so rarely aired his thoughts in public.
128 pages and 150 photographs. Text in English.
