This book is a collection of articles, with accompanying advertisements, from "Jaguar Enthusiast" magazine. It covers the major areas from body work, to suspension, to engine, drive train, and exhaust.

I used this book more as a guide to the steps that must be completed. It is not a detailed account of each overhaul. When accompanied by a Jaguar Repair Operation Manual and a Jaguar Parts Catalog, you wind up with almost all of the documentation you need.

Note: This car is most helpful for restoring Jaguar Series I, II, and III cars built from the early '70s through the late '80s. Though some of the information may be useful, this book does not cover newer models of the XJ40 and beyond.

Jaguar/Daimler Xj6 Restoration: Practical Classics & Car Restorer (Jaguar Enthusiasts' Club) by Dave Pollard

A useful book for the owner of an XJ6/12. It does not go into great detail on any particular aspect but is an excellent overview of the restoration process.
