Nevil Shute was a writer whose books were looked down on by literary critics and yet when he died he was one of the best selling novelists of his day. Books such as A Town Like Alice and On the Beach still attract new generations of fans and his novels are still in print. However there was far more to the man than his books.

This is the eighth title in the now well-established In Detail series. Its subject, the Jaguar XK120, has become one of the immortals of sports car history and remains one of the most beautiful cars ever built. It took the London Motor Show by storm in 1948, and was built until 1954. Combining extraordinary docility with a startling 120mph top speed, it was the car to be in, whether for cruising California boulevards or racing at Le Mans. The book is published in association with the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust and written by the Trust's Archivist. Drawing from company records and archives, he has been able to provide information on the XK120 that has never been available to enthusiasts before. This, and its focus on the XK120 alone rather than on the whole XK family, make this book uniquely informative.

Mini Down Under traces the history of one of New Zealand's - and the world's - best-loved cars. More versions of the Mini were available in New Zealand than anywhere else, and the launching of the iconic car in February 1960 was a larger-than-life event. In this lively and personal story, the author tracks the Mini's life in New Zealand, the connection between Kiwi racing driver Bruce McLaren and the birth of the Mini Cooper, the heady days of competition success in the Antipodes, the local assembly and marketing of the classic original car and the eventual development into the latest generation Mini for a new century.

The Jaguar is synonymous with motor racing success achieved with the flowing power and elegance of its namesake. In the mid-1950s, the sinuous C- and D-Types swept to victory in Le Mans with nonchalant ease. In the 1960s the Mk2 saloon dominated touring car racing. And Jaguar's decision to enter the Formula One arena for the 2000 season marked a welcome return to the highest levels of motor sport.
