A perfect 120, 140 or 150 could easily cost six figures in pounds, dollars or euros today – so how practical is it to buy a neglected example and restore it at home?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of how one man completely restored his 120 roadster, transforming it from dereliction into a thoroughly beautiful example of this iconic sports car. He also took the time to investigate and incorporate numerous detail improvements, making the car even more usable and practical for today’s roads, some 65 years after it was built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCable TV engineer Bob Exelby has a lifetime of home classic car rebuilds behind him and shares all the nuggets of information, advice and tips gleaned through his own blood (literally), sweat and tears over 50 years of ‘playing with old cars’. Even the most experienced make mistakes, and he freely shares his so that others can avoid them. This book is invaluable if you want to know what makes it ‘tick’, and if it’s the classic car for you – and vital if you own or are restoring one. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"clearfix colelem\" id=\"u136010-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"clearfix colelem\" id=\"pu135777-20\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"clearfix grpelem\" id=\"u135777-20\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list0 nls-None\" id=\"u135777-18\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA complete DIY restoration of an early example\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for those who carry out home servicing and repairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePacked with advice and tips from an experienced home restorer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopiously illustrated in colour throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain the specific knowledge vital to work on a Jaguar XK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnecdotes and mishaps: informative, amusing and encouraging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeticulously detailed, over 300 pages, over 400 photos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecification\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: 978-1-907085-35-2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe author – Bob Exelby\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCable TV engineer Bob Exelby has a lifetime of home classic car rebuilds behind him and shares all the nuggets of information, advice and tips gleaned through his own blood (literally), sweat and tears over 50 years of ‘playing with old cars’.
