Summary
Details

The Story of Curvy Kate is a fascinating story of one man's lifelong dream to build a head-turning replica SS Jaguar from the ground up. Howard Pietersie takes us through a mechanical odyssey, replete with setbacks, successes and innovative solutions that make 'Curvy Kate' a remarkable story of endurance, elation and love. However, the romantic notion of building a truly elegant piece of 20th century motoring royalty is not for the faint-hearted, though any unsuspecting soul determined to do so would do well to read this book.

The Story of Curvy Kate is Pietersie's inspirational and sometimes hilarious journey into the secret life of an enthusiastic amateur determined to realise a dream.

Bursting with interesting aspects of building a vehicle from scratch, including a progressive photographic history of the project.

How to build an SS Jaguar replica in eight short years, armed with only a few photos, a model and the encouragement of some beautiful people.
