Book Description
Dramatic increases in the values of the Mark I and Mark II family have stimulated renewed interest in these most prized of all Jaguar saloons. Many examples have been rejuvenated by professional restorers and mechanically minded owners, but how many of these cars boast the completely original and authentic specification which the most discerning enthusiasts now demand? The information needed to determine how a restored car should look and what parts it should contain can be hard to find, but now help is at hand for all owners, restorers and enthusiasts in Original Jaguar MkI/MkII. Drawing from factory records, parts books, catalogs and service bulletins, as well as the accumulated knowledge of the author and respected Jaguar restorers, this book provides the evidence of what constitutes an authentic Jaguar Mark II. More than 150 color photographs show every inch of our eight carefully selected cars. Seven of these have been preserved in remarkably original condition; the other has been restored with fastidious attention to originality. From 2.4-liter Mark I to Daimler V8 250, every permutation of specification is covered in superb detail.

Diagnostics, or fault finding, is a fundamental part of an automotive technician's work, and as automotive systems become increasingly complex there is a greater need for good diagnostic skills.

Book Description
Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons had a hit on his hands when he launched the "compact" 2.4 liter sports saloon in 1956. A year later those wanting more thrills were offered the 120mph 3.4 Liter. Both were replaced in 1960 by the Mk2 models, which added a 3.8 liter, and from there on, the range was developed and expanded with the long-booted S-type of 1964, the 4.2 liter 420 of 1967, and the final 240/340 models of 1968. Alongside there were the Daimler V8 and Sovereign models. The Mk1 and Mk2 and their derivatives have been heading the list of desirable classic cars for many years, and more and more worn-out, semi-derelict examples are being dragged out of garages and barns to be restored. For those seeking originality in a restoration, or considering the purchase of a car, or even noting points of originality or otherwise in a car they already own, Factory-Original Jaguar Mk1 & Mk2 provides the comprehensive guide to factory specifications, equipment and finishes in all departments. It covers engine and transmission, body panels, interior and exterior trim, electrics, dashboard, instruments, switches and controls, lamps, under the hood components, paint and trim colors - in fact, everything right down to the tool kit, from the beginning of production to the end. The text is accompanied by some 300 specially commissioned color photographs of outstanding examples of the cars, enabling the reader to view every model and variant in considerable detail.
