Author Description

In Volume 2 the author records the fine details of the engine compartment, interior, boot, body trim and optional extras, while also providing contemporary documentation (such as the paperwork that accompanied cars when new, manuals, catalogs and advertising material). Color finishes are examined in detail (including body color schemes, color swatches and paint mixing formulas). The countless modifications and changes to the basic configuration made to the XK 120 during its production are also described in depth, with a painstaking thoroughness and a love for detail to which probably no other single model series has ever before been subjected.
