Default Workshop manual preference / advice

I’d like to purchase a workshop manual for my 69 SII FHC, but am unsure which is most recommended. I have found these 3 available, anyone have input and advice? Thank you.

Best is, of course, the official Jaguar Cars book. The Haynes book will be reasonabky useful, but I have no knowledge of the Floyd Clymer book. If there is an official spare parts book by Jaguar Cars, get this, as it will have all the assembly drawings in it.

Bentley's comprises all the Jaguar FSM material for S1 and S2. It's the most useful publication:

I’ll take a look, if it’s not priced in the stratosphere, I’ll pick that up too!

Perhaps the most useful publication you will find is the Series 2 Illustrated parts catalog. It is pricy but worth every penny. You can get it from XKEbooks or if a member of JCNA it is in their shop..
