Hi Austin:
If you see the complete original scanned brochure,
you'll see it's plenty of technical info about the Jaguar E:
http://www.web-cars.com/e-type/brochure.php
and I still did not look for info in my real manuals, car magazines
and brochures, perhaps you don't know that cars and racing cars are
almost as popular as soccer in my country.
