The E-Type Jaguar has been described on countless occasions as one of the most beautiful cars in the world. Over the years it has built a reputation amongst Jaguar enthusiasts and classic car collectors for being the ultimate classic to own.

If you are lucky enough to own one and are planning to undertake the restoration work by yourself, this manual will take you through the full nut-and-bolt restoration of a very early example, E-Type Jaguar Chassis No. 60.

From preparing the work space to dismantling the car, restoring the body, engine and electrical components, plus painting, trimming and much more, the book will show you how the world's premier Jaguar restoration company does what it does best, providing helpful hints and tips and illustrating the restoration process with detailed photographs.

Fundamentally, all six-cylinder E-Types follow the same principles of construction and engineering, with subtle changes as the model progressed. There are similarities too, with the V-12-engined Series 3. So be aware of the differences between your model and the one featured.
