Much has been written about Jaguar, but this is the first full biography of its founder Sir William Lyons, now published in paperback to mark the 110th anniversary of Lyons’s birth. This inspiring book, written by two eminent Jaguar authors, describes how Lyons established his motor manufacturing business and launched the Jaguar marque – and then masterminded decades of glory.
