Richard,
Now that would be a great project. In fact I've actually talked to Roger
about this very thing, after I first saw the B**ernard Viart XK120 book at
a friends Jaguar restoration shop some years ago. Very impressive books
which caught my eye and attention right away.
Ideally there should be one book for the 100s, one book for the six
cylinder roadsters, and one for the convertibles.
Cheers,
Curt
