Lord Montagu of Beaulieu; Research By Sedgwick, Michael
Jaguar - A Biography: A Montagu Motor Book - New Series
273 pages including index and many lovely black and white archival photographic plates. "The Jaguar is not to everyone's taste - there have been the miseries as well as the splendours.

This is a small and objective tribute to the team who made such success possible. Red boards badly stained. Minor stains to contents. Well-worn. Unmarked. Book
