TWR Jaguar Prototype Racers: Group C and GTP XJR Cars 1985-93, Leslie F. Thurston — 1st Edition

Publication: Allesley, Coventry, Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Limited, 2003

Formatting: 4to, pp. 192.

Condition Report: Near Fine. The black cloth boards are remarkably clean and sharp, with unblemished gilt lettering to the spine and no bumping to the corners. The binding remains firm and square, presenting as unread. Internally, the pages are crisp, bright, and completely free from any foxing or markings. The vibrant purple dust jacket is similarly excellent, retaining its original high gloss with only the faintest hint of shelf-wear to the extremities, and is entirely free of nicks, tears, or fading. A truly exceptional, collector-quality copy.

Catalogue Note: This is a first edition of Leslie F. Thurston’s comprehensive history of the TWR Jaguar prototype racing cars. Profusely illustrated throughout with hundreds of striking full-colour and archive photographs, the work offers an unparalleled look into Jaguar’s modern racing pedigree.

Produced in partnership with Tom Walkinshaw’s TWR company, the book details individual statistical chassis histories, race descriptions, and the evolution of the iconic Group C and GTP XJR cars.

Now out of print, this title has become an uncommon find on the open market, making it an essential reference for motorsport historians and Jaguar enthusiasts alike.

In partnership with Tom Walkinshaw's TWR company, Jaguar made a triumphant return to long-distance motor racing in the 1980s. TWR Jaguar Prototype Racers offers a definitive overview of the legendary Group C and GTP XJR cars from 1985 to 1993. Featuring detailed race descriptions, technical development insights, and individual chassis statistics, this highly illustrated volume brings the era vividly to life. From the iconic Silk Cut liveries to dramatic victories on the world stage, Thurston's work is a must-have tribute to one of motorsport's most thrilling chapters.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
