I do not know if you have seen the publicity on this extremely rare Jaguar survivor car, but thought you would enjoy reading about it: Hemmings Article
There is a really interesting video embedded in that article about the documentation on this car. -Gary
Do I want the F-Type? AUTOWEEK Does!
It depends on your hierarchy of hero cars. The F-Type lacks the polish and, by extension, the sophistication of a 911 or R8. It lacks the cachet of a Ferrari California T, and in certain respects, it’s less comfortable than any of them.
On the other hand, the F-Type is substantially less expensive than any of those, which by definition makes it more accessible. It’s arguably the purest car among its Euro competitors, and it’s no slouch in any respect.
If excitement and craft are important in your hierarchy, then you won’t go wrong. If you’re looking for that in a package that is both gorgeous and reasonably priced by up-front and operating costs, you want it.
The F-Type manual is an increasingly rare creature among thoroughbred sports cars.

Website For Purchasing Electronic Jaguar Manuals Service Bulletins Etc.
I ran across a very interesting website called JagDocs today while looking for an electronic workshop manual for my XK8.
The website is: http://www.jagdocs.com/ and you can buy all sorts of electronic manuals, pamphlets, brochures and technical / service bulletins for many of the models, to include some of the classics like the E-Type. Even better, the costs are not much – factory service manuals are @ $10.00.
