Jaguar expert Heiner Stertkamp was born in 1959, the year of the Jaguar Mark 2. Like many young boys of his generation he was fascinated by the world of the automobile, particularly the sleek and powerful Jaguars. Years later, as he worked to acquire his own Jaguar, Stertkamp became a member of the Jaguar Association Germany, the country's most prominent Jaguar club. Today he heads the XJ register and is a member of the JAG board. Stertkamp's writing has been published in the UK's Classic Cars" as well as in German enthusiast magazines. His close relationship with the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust ensured complete access to Jaguar's extensive archives. The book you hold in your hands represents Stertkamp's years of painstaking research.


In 1922, a company calling itself Swallow began manufacturing motorcycle sidecars. In 1927, adopting the name SS, the company built its first automobiles, and in 1945, it switched to the name Jaguar. This richly illustrated book tells the colorful story behind one of the most revered makers of high-performance and sports cars. From the inklings of greatness in its distant beginnings to its ascension to fame with the postwar XK series cars followed by the iconic E-Type introduced in 1961, this book traces the path of a company that produced vehicles of unprecedented power and beauty--including four-door saloons, race prototypes, the GT-oriented XJ-S, and the fabulous XJ-220 super-car. The story continues today when, under Ford ownership, Jaguar continues to thrive, offering a line of top-notch modern cars. "Jaguar: The Complete Story" is an exhaustively researched account of the company's story, with a detailed look at every car it has built. Racing vehicles and prototypes receive due treatment as well, and an extensive appendix
of technical specifications rounds out the book.

Chevrolet Sonic at the 2011 Detroit auto show

Mon, 10 Jan 2011

One of GM's numerous debuts at the 2011 Detroit auto show was this: the Chevrolet Sonic. Shown as a hatchback and four-door notchback, it's one of The General's weapons to tackle the now-globalised Ford Fiesta and its ilk. Good spot. That's because this is the US-spec Aveo - albeit shown in US-only notchback form as well as the more Euro-flavoured hatchback.

2014 Hyundai Genesis: First photos ahead of Detroit debut

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

First photo of the new Hyundai Genesis However far Hyundai has come in the UK and Europe in the last few years, they still don’t think Europe is ready for their range-topping saloon – the Hyundai Genesis. But that could be about to change with the arrival of the 2014 Hyundai Genesis, which Hyundai has started to tease with the release of the first photos of their new car ahead of a debut at the Detroit Auto Show. Looking like a slightly tamer version of the Hyundai HCD-14 Concept we saw at Detroit at the start of the year, the new Genesis gets Hyundai’s latest Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 design language which brings with it a new Audi-esque front grill (well, Hyundai/Kia’s design guru, Peter Schreyer, did come from Audi) as well as a sleeker, more elegant style.
