First edition

This is the complete, intact set of Urs Schmid’s Jaguar XK 120: The Anatomy of a Cult Object — both first edition volumes, in their individual white inner slipcases, housed in the original black presentation box with gold Jaguar winged badge. Original publisher order documentation included. This is not a set that surfaces often. Volume 2 alone — published nearly a decade after Volume 1 — is considered nearly impossible to find in any condition. Finding both volumes complete with all original packaging and paperwork intact is exceptional. Volume 1 (Vulcan Publishing, 2002) covers technical and body subjects in exhaustive photographic detail — chassis, mechanical components, body construction, and all specification changes across the model’s production run. Around 1,200 color photographs document original cars and components side by side for direct comparison. 265 pages. Volume 2 (Vulcan Publishing, 2011) covers the engine compartment, interior, boot, body trim, optional extras, color finishes with original paint mixing formulas, contemporary documentation including original paperwork, manuals, catalogs, and advertising material. 317 pages. Together they represent the most thorough documentation ever produced on a single classic car model — the standard reference for any serious XK 120 restorer or collector. What’s included: • Volume 1 first edition hardcover with dust jacket and white inner slipcase • Volume 2 first edition hardcover with dust jacket and white inner slipcase •
