JaguarSport XJR-15

The Last Word on the JaguarSport XJR-15

The book exceeds my expectations. It is a large coffee-table book and it has many large 2-page spanning photos that really show the car in the best light. No car looks great from every angle, but Peter has picked the best ones. And the book really covers everything, including background on TWR and Tom Walkinshaw, details of the development that only Peter would know, the XJR-15 tie-in with the Nissan R390s and the XJR-15LM. It is pretty much the last word on the car. One omission that will not trouble anybody but obsessives like me is the wonderful Paul Bracq painting of the car that appears in the Dec 1994/Jan 1995 issue of Automobiles Classiques magazine. The fact that one of the greatest car designers of all time commemorates such an ‘obscure’ (unknown to most people) car is a great testament to the importance of the XJR-15.
