A medical writer by profession, Peter has tinkered with old cars and motorcycles since his teens. He has raced in most forms of motorcycle sport and won 2nd place in the prestigious Motor Cycle News Special of the Year competition with his lightweight Norton. He was a technical and roadtest contributor and cartoonist for British Bike Mechanics / British Bike Magazine in the 1980s. He built his first E-type in the early 1960s as an Airfix kit but has since built his own tuned 2+2 from a collection of parts and advised others on all manner of issues related to these fabulous cars.
Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car, February 2007"This is not a book for
the squeamish. No, not with it's photos of rotted-out bulkheads,
rusted-through frames and collapsed engine mounts ... This book is
an excellent starting point for anyone contemplating ownership of
an E-Type, and cheap enough insurance to keep the unwary away from
the worst pitfalls."
Classic Car Weekly (UK), January 2007 "From practical advice and
who's who in the Jaguar scene, to making sense of history files and
other paperwork, it is an ideal foundation to build on your E-Type
knowledge before taking the plunge. Nonetheless, a lot of the
information offered could pay dividends when viewing any make of
classic car."
