Jaguar XJS Restoration & Maintenance
By Jim Patten
Description

Surprisingly, to date there have been no practical books on the XJS, the longest-running and most popular Jaguar of all time. However, this book fills that gap in excellent fashion, with all Jim Patten’s flair and talent for explaining techniques in an easy-to-follow style.

Jim Patten is one the few Jaguar journalists who has actually gets right down to it, getting his hands dirty restoring Jaguars. This attribute no doubt accounts for the insight he brings to Jaguar technical and practical coverage.

The core of this book is Jim Patten’s extensive series of articles from Jaguar World magazine, covering the magazine’s project car, a 1988 XJS 3.6 Coupe, and, Jim’s ‘Service & Survival Guide’, from Car Mechanics. Supplemented by the ‘XJS Buying & Fettling’ guide from Jaguar Monthly, XJS Cabriolet and XJS Converible ‘Star Buys’ by Nigel Thorley, and finally a feature of XJS collectibles by Leslie Thurston.

At the same time any XJS owner or lover, even those who seldom lift a spanner, should find the series of features that come together in this book, a fascinating read.
