Jaguar is one of Britain's best known and ultimately most successful car makers, and since 1928 it has based its head office and manufacturing facility in the Coventry area. Nigel Thorley's illustrated history, which has been specially commissioned to celebrate 50 years of Jaguar at Browns Lane, offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes insight into the company and its cars. Also, most important, he provides a vivid account of Jaguar's Coventry factories which have contributed so much to the working life of the city. His story follows the fluctuating fortunes of Jaguar, describes what it was like to work at 'The Jaguar', and gives a revealing description of how the cars were designed and built. An intimate portrait emerges of Jaguar in Coventry and of the generations of people who have worked there and work there still. As the inside story of one of Britain's most distinctive companies, the book will appeal to anyone who is interested in the automotive industry and in the history of Jaguar in particular.
