Haynes manuals are a God send! Each and every car I own I always get a Haynes manual. They are always so simple to consult!
I personally own a Haynes Jaguar XKE (E Type) 3.8 & 4.2 Owners Workshop Manual (full of oil stains though) and it includes instructions in which you can totally dismantle your XKE and assemble it back together without missing a single screw!
