9600 HP - The Story of the World's Oldest E-type

Written by Jaguar expert Philip Porter, 9600 HP: The Story of the World’s Oldest E-type tells the remarkable story of one of the most significant Jaguar E-types ever built.

Known as prototype number 7, 9600 HP played a key role in the car’s development and famously made a dramatic high-speed journey across France to reach the 1961 Geneva Motor Show launch.

The book also covers its 150mph Autocar road test, fascinating post-Jaguar ownership and eventual restoration. Extensively expanded and updated, this Classic Edition features rare archive material, including drawings, sketches and photographs celebrating Malcolm Sayer’s design legacy. It is an essential account for E-type enthusiasts, collectors and Jaguar historians.
