Jaguar XJR-9 Owners’ Workshop Manual: Includes all Jaguar XJR Group C and IMSA sports racing cars, 1985 to 1993 (XJR-5 to XJR-16)
$47.95
The Jaguar XJR-9 is the Group C sports racing car built by Jaguar for the 1988 racing season, winning on its debut at the Daytona 24 Hours, and going on to take victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours (Jaguar's first win at the French classic since 1957).
The car also took Jaguar to victory in the 1988 Teams' World Championship, and Drivers' World Championship with Martin Brundle. Works cars ran in the American IMSA Championship (running in Castrol livery), as well as the World Sports Car Championship. The XJR-9 is one of the most evocative sports-racing cars of the 1980s, thanks to its success, instantly recognizable Silk Cut livery, and unforgettable V12 engine note.
This Manual tells the complete design and engineering story of the XJR series of sports-racing cars, focusing on the XJR-9, and featuring extensive input from many of the engineers and drivers involved.

The Iconic Jaguar XK: A Celebration of 120s, 140s and 150s
What inspires long-term XK ownership and enthusiasm? Surely, there can only be one answer: the cars themselves.
The author and his wife launched a dedicated XK Club in 1997, just in time for the 50th anniversary one year later. Now, the venerable XK 120 has reached another milestone with its 65th anniversary. Between these covers, the author presents a mix of features including 120s, 140s, and 150s, plus the C- and D-Types, which the factory always termed XK 120C and XK 120D (and occasionally XK 140D).
A few of the articles are reprinted from the early issues of the XK Gazette, the XK Club magazine, but are now in color; expanded, redesigned and, mainly, updated. Let's not be bashful: XKs are great cars. They achieved so much in their time, and continue to achieve much today. Could there be a better advertisement for a classic sports car, a better testimonial to their greatness? This book is no mere flirtation but a full-blooded love affair with these vehicles, our stimulating, rewarding, and beguiling mistresses
