The technically advanced, aluminium bodied New XK models carried over very little from the previous models. Produced from 2006 to 2014, they proved to be one of the best sports models produced by Jaguar. Still no replacement has been planned by the marque, meaning these cars will be much sought after, and meaning you'll need expert advice if you're thinking of purchasing one. For anyone with an interest in, or who's thinking of buying one of these already classic cars, this Essential Buyer's Guide is a vital requirement. Covering all variants, and highlighting model differences, it shows how equipment levels or colour schemes affect can affect price. Detailing everything from what to look for when you first see a car, to in-depth evaluation, even such matters as where to buy and what paperwork to check is covered, along with dedicated sections listing model specifications, where to go for advice, and marque specialists.
This book covers all production history Chassis numbers and race results with many photo's throughout the book.
Win Percy is known throughout the racing world for his remarkable natural talent as a driver, his determination on the track, his sense of fair play and his many international successes.
He is renowned for his close association with the late Tom Walkinshaw, TWR, winning the Spa 24 Hour race twice, taking victory at Bathurst 1990 in the TWR Holden which was part of the new team he had founded - and for surviving the horrendous 240 mph crash in the middle of the night at Le Mans in 1987.
His life has not been easy, with a number of tragedies leaving deep scars. His only son, Matthew, was killed in a road accident, and most people know that Win became paraplegic following a botched back operation.
That hasn't stopped him living an active life though, and this book gives the reader a true appreciation of what it takes to succeed at this level, and come out of an ultra competitive career as well liked and respected as he is by fans, teams and manufacturers.
