The fullest account available on the design and development of Jaguar's sport racing cars and their competition histories. Because a number of these automobiles have changed hands and additional information has surfaced since the first edition was published in 1995, the book is now updated to include a "Chassis Histories" section providing data on each individual car. Based on information drawn from factory documents and interviews with top Jaguar personnel and drivers, the book also includes notes on each car's racing career. Illustrations include specially commissioned color photographs of authenticated cars and rare black-and-white racing shots.

This glorious book tells the story of the celebrated lightweight Jaguar C-type, chassis number XKC 051, that Duncan Hamilton and Tony Rolt drove to victory in the 1953 Le Mans 24 Hours. The car went on to have a busy post-works racing career, first with Ecurie Ecosse, then with privateer drivers Bill Smith and Geoffrey Allison. Among its small number of collector custodians in later years, the names Briggs Cunningham in America and Adrian Hamilton (son of Duncan) in the UK stand out. The development of the C-type is described, focusing on the three lightweights of 1953 with thinner-gauge aluminum bodies, pioneering disc brakes, and aircraft-style fuel tanks. All this is covered in fascinating detail, supported by interviews with drivers and mechanics, a fine collection of period images and studio photographs.
