{"product_id":"jaguar-xj-s-james-taylor-9781785005831","title":"Jaguar Xj-S: The Complete Story","description":"James Taylor remembers very well the disappointment among his pretrol-head friends when the XJ-S was announced in 1975. It was not a replacement for the legendary E-type; its colours were uninspired; and its interior was drab. All credit, then, to those people at Jaguar who truly believed in the car and, over a period of nearly 20 years, turned the ugly duckling into a swan. From the moment the XJ-S HE arrived in 1981, there seemed to be renewed hope, and from then on, the car went from strength to strength to become the much-admirred grand tourer it always should have been. The book contains a timeline of the key events in the history of the XJ-S and an overview of the evolution of the XJS from the XJ27 prototype. There are Appendices covering identification\/serial numbers, UK showroom prices through the years and sales in the US by year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785005839\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785005831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crowood Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 8.70w x 0.80d","brand":"James Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49082928070911,"sku":"9781785005831","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jaguar-xj-s-james-taylor-9781785005831","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
