Book Reviews of MGB Restoration Manual (Restoration Manuals)

Book Review: Buy this book BEFORE you buy an MGB
Summary: 5 Stars

An absolutely essential reference when considering the purchase of, particularly your first, MGB. At this stage the most important section covers what points to look for when viewing an MGB, and gives a guide as to how much repairs or replacement will cost in each case - useful in negotiations with the vendor. I have used it to purchase two MGBs (and avoid others), and in both cases I ended up with exactly what I expected.

Once you have purchased your car the sections on restoration, particularly the bodywork, are very detailed. Those on mechanical restoration give useful tips and dodges when working on an old car, but other books give a more detailed description on basic disassembly and assembly, and on electrics.

In summary - an absolutely essential part of an MGB owners library.
