This book is essential reading for every MGB enthusiast.

For those new to vehicle electrical systems the book provides a simple primer using mechanical analogies.

The many fault finding guides help pin those elusive problems down. For those wishing to improve the car for reliability and safety.

Product Description

Review

Electrics are often viewed as something of a black art by restorers but the text here is clear, insightful and easy to follow. The gen on fault-finding is particularly useful. - Octane REVIEWS

FOR PREVIOUS EDITION: With clear, instructional text and plenty of illustrations and diagrams throughout, this book is commendably easy to follow and a boon to any MGB owner with something of a hands-on approach.- Classic Car Mart

This book would certainly seem to be essential reading for every MGB owner as it comprehensively covers every electrical system in the four-cylinder cars. More than just a 'how to' book, it also explains a lot of the theory behind the practice. As well as comprehensive wiring diagrams and full-colour illustrations the book offers helpful advice on improving the electrical systems and replacements for unavailable or expensive parts. All B fans need a copy. - Classics Monthly

This extensive, full-colour step-by-step guide covers charging, ignition systems, relays, fuel pumps, wipers, instruments and lighting in great depth. - Classic & Sports Car

Colour-coded circuit diagrams and hundreds of original photos make it easy to use, and handy advice comes in the form of suggested alternatives for unavailable or expensive repairs and plenty of ideas for improved electrical performance. - Retro Cars Magazine

The detail is so great and clearly written, that anyone should be able to work through most of their electrical problems and finally let those tired old Lucas jokes be put to rest. If you have a holiday wishlist to fill out, I would make sure that Rick's new book is at the top of it. - MGB Driver

If you are restoring an MGB or feel the need to improve or modify its wiring, this is the book to buy. - Classic Car Weekly

The subtitle of the book is 'Your colour illustrated guide to understanding, repairing and improving the MGB's electrical systems and components.' That about sums it up, because you couldn't ask for a more complete and easy to follow manual ... this is a book that belongs on every serious MGB owner's shelf. - Keystone Region MG Club for MG Gazette

A lot more comprehensive than your average manual. --- Hemmings Sports & Exotic

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb reference book, a must have. 2 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback
Very well informed, beautifully written, good clear colour photographs.
Good for fault finding reference but is eminently readable in its own right. A great introduction to the basics of automotive electrics even if you don't have an MGB.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book applies to all classic cars 7 Jan 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I already have a good knowledge of classic car electrical systems, especially Triumph, and didn't think I needed any more books on the subject. However a pending overhaul of a rubber bumpered MGB made me look again. Glad I did as this book can offer hints and tips to the novice and expert alike. If you want a reference book on classic car electrical systems with good explanations and practical advice this is a good choice.
