Recommended XJS books? Empty Recommended XJS books?

Post  db.08 Thu Oct 28, 2010 2:05 am

Since acquiring my XJS, I've bought the following books on the XJS:

"You & Your Jaguar XJS" (Nigel Thorley)
"Jaguar XJ-S - The Complete Story" (Graham Robson)
"A Collector's Guide - Jaguar XJS" (Paul Skilleter)
"The Essential Buyer's Guide - Jaguar XJ-S" (Peter Crespin)
"Jaguar XJ-S" (Duncan Wherrett)

Are there any more that anyone knows about that are worth getting?

Thanks.

Dave

Not a book, but if you intend to work on yours yourself, definately the DVD-ROM from Jaguar Heritage.

There is not a Haynes Manual for the 4.0 XJS, so I have to have a V12 XJS manual for bodywork/interior etc issues, and an XJ40 4.0 manual for the engine work. I have just put in an order for the Jaguar Heritage DVD ROM which is apparently better than a Haynes manual! Smile

Thanks, I have to admit though that when it comes to working on cars, I'm not very handy with a spanner.
I tend to leave it to the experts and I just drive them.
We have a non-franchised Jaguar specialist in Perth called Roadbend and I'll probably take it there as they have all the gear and have specialised in Jags for donkeys' years.

If you are doing any work on you XJ-S yourself, expecially if it is an 5.3 V12, you should get the "experience in a book" from Jag-lovers:

It hold a lot of interesting info, and it´s free.
