The best I could find was this from 2001:

Is there a video or a "photo story" anywhere?

Wheatley and Morgan. The Restoration of Vintage and Thoroughbred Cars, covers this subject. It’s an excellent book for all aspects of restoration.

On Amazon £8.64 plus postage.

30p + £2:79 postage.  UK seller.  Click on the "see other formats".

While its easy to knock Amazon as an evil, giving access to second hand books like that, at that sort of price, is (along with forums...) a wonder of the modern world.

So thank you Roland...
