Books about cars, motoring, travel and automotive culture in all its forms are commonplace and the library is growing all the time. Luckily we’ve done the hard work so you don’t have to, reviewing and rating the best new automotive literature to be published in recent months. This concise history stops at 2024, when the firm was still building cars, which seems a bit like a history textbook addressing the Cold War as ‘trouble ahead’. ‘Concise’ is right – it’s less than 100 pages long, so squeezing in 90 years of history is a big ask. Jaguars always photograph well and there’s a fine selection here, breaking up the text on each page so it’s not an intimidating read.
