Hello
there are many books around.
The famous Haddock for 6cyl and V12, but out of print; sometimes on ebay.
You also have tow recents easy to use and practical guides, written by
Peter Crespin (himself owner of jags and E's) : you can find these
on
http://www.veloce.co.uk/shop/products/search.php
search Jaguar E type and you will find two books.
No affiliation and any interest... just happy my car is on the cover of the V12 book :D
Further, you can find some sites with restoration history on
www.xkedata.com (look for links and then have a look)
hope that helps
best regards
