Oto K. said Informative reading and good photography.. Enjoyed the period era photography!. "General overview of the XK series" according to Richard N Carnegie. This is a decent general referience to the Jaguar XK series, but does not go into much detail about the various models for the restorer. It does provide the development and race history and a summary of what to watch for if you are thinking of purchasing one, as do a number of other books on the XK series.
