Title: E-Type Jaguar Restoration

Author: Practical Classics

Publisher: Kelsey Publishing LTD, Beckenham, Kent, England, 1991 ISBN: 1873098 03 0

Format: Oversize, softcover, color, 106 pages, about 300 photos.

 

Another do-it-yourself book from Kelsey. This time, an awful E-Type is restored to near perfection. The book attempts to follow the ground up every step of the way, but the task is so huge, that many details are missed. For example, carpets and trim are glossed over, yet an excruciatingly detailed description is given of how a cracked engine block was repaired. I would bet that many of us have replaced all or part of an interior, but not one of us has attempted to weld a block. Still, a must-have book, if you are seriously into restoring it on your own. (Bought my copy at the British car show at Chateau Elan in May 1993.)

 

My favorite. Lots of good pics on problems to look out for and advice on buying. Bjarn
