5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book BEFORE you buy an MGB, 27 Jan 1999
By A Customer
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Could do better., 19 Jan 2007
By Mr. Barry SMITH - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When restoring an MGB the majority of the work (I'm sure most will agree) is in structural repairs, chassis legs, sills etc I'm afraid this book is extremley light on these areas. You can never have too much information and I would recommend reading it before you start your project but get the MGB colour restoration book by Practical Classics and probably the original MGB Workshop manual as well.

That said it does contain some useful information but just be aware it is lacking in alot of areas and the pictures are black and white and grainy, but like I say if you are a novice more information is always better.

2.0 out of 5 stars HAYNES BUT COULD BE BETTER, 27 Jul 2009
By Mr. S. A. Mccloud (Berkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is what we have come to expect from Haynes over the years but I was a little disappointed. Firstly I think by now Haynes should be producing these books in full colour. All of the photos are in black and white. They also look to me like they were taken years ago.Maybe just reprinted from much earlier editions or the workshop manual for the MGB. Jobs are set out clearly though but I am left with the felling that this book is not worth the money. You may as well just buy the workshop manual.
