Book Description
The fabulous E-type Jaguar is the sleekest and most beloved sports car ever created. Who wouldn’t want one of their own?

Author and drama teacher Chris Rooke had no engineering or mechanical training, but he transformed a wreck of a Jaguar into a road burning machine. This is his candid story, and instruction, of how he managed to get it done. Perfect for beginners, E-Type DIY is heavily illustrated, and loaded with practical advice.

Book Description
The Jaguar XK 120 was stunning when it debuted in 1948. It sold like wildfire to top film stars, and was ruthless as a rally machine -- two facts that remain true today. An XK 120, 140, or 150 in perfect condition could easily run up a six-figure price tag; if you have the know-how, why not buy a forgotten model and restore it at home? Jaguar XK DIY follows the story of author Bob Exelby as he transforms his XK 120 roadster from a rusty derelict to a shining example of the iconic sports car. Not only does this book cover how to restore the car, Exelby also explains how he made many detail improvements, making the car even more usable and practical for today’s roads.
