Getting into my 70 Roadster project and looking for the best detailed reference sources including on line manuals.

 

Without hesitation the most valuable manual is the illustrated S2 parts manual by Richard Liggett. There were 5 major changes in the S2 E and if you want to ensure you go the right way purchase one. They are available on line from XKE books but JCNA members get a healthy discount.

 

Without a doubt the Robert Bentley (publisher) is a combination owner's manual and workshop manual that has helped me more times than I can count over the 33 years that I have owned my E.

The Complete Official Jaguar - Bentley Publishers - Repair Manuals and Automotive Books

I also have a copy of the Haynes manual. This link is from the Haynes site, (out of stock) but there are any number of copies available from Ebay/amazon, etc.

The other digital resources are this forum as well as Jag-lovers:

Having trouble searching for a that site " XKE" books it just goes to ebay. Can you narrow that down for me a bit. Thanks

 

ISBN for the Haynes manual is ISBN-13:
9780857336125

For the Bentley: ISBN-13: 978-0-8376-1764-0

This info should also come up for you on the links I posted... came up for me just now.
