A medical writer by profession, Peter has also written three other books on Jaguars, reflecting his passion for the Coventry marque. He has owned a long line of Jaguars and Daimlers and currently variously drives or restores a 1966 E-type, a rare 1976 Series 2 Daimler Double Six Coupe, a 1985 Series 3 Daimler Double Six HE and his favorite a 1984 XJ-S Banham 5-speed convertible. Having bought and sold other XJ-S cars in far from pristine condition he knows the things to look out for and passes on his hard-earned experience in this book.
Co-founder of AJ6 engineering, Roger Bywater has accumulated 30 years of continuous involvement with the Jaguar V12 engine, having worked as a Senior Development Engineer at Jaguar Cars in the 1970s in the Experimental Department on fuel injection, exhaust emission control and engine development.
