The Jaguar XK 120 was stunning when it debuted in 1948. It sold like wildfire to top film stars, and was ruthless as a rally machine -- two facts that remain true today. An XK 120, 140, or 150 in perfect condition could easily run up a six-figure price tag; if you have the know-how, why not buy a forgotten model and restore it at home? Jaguar XK DIY follows the story of author Bob Exelby as he transforms his XK 120 roadster from a rusty derelict to a shining example of the iconic sports car. Not only does this book cover how to restore the car, Exelby also explains how he made many detail improvements, making the car even more usable and practical for today’s roads.
