Bentley Manual

Well this thing is freaking HUGE! VERY nice book, and I so recommend it. First repair manual I ever owned with a registration key code on the back inside cover!

Actually when I look at how thick it is, and then place my Bentley MGB 1962-74, and MGB 1975-80 next to it, those two amount to about the same size.

Ah yes, those 60s-70s cars don't seem to need nearly as much explaination!

Makes me appreciate just how bloody simple my old MGB really is! Outside of the oil and fuel filter, there's not much that's throw-away. I can disassemble and fix anything on it.

The Mini is going to be a whole new experience!

I also agree, nicest service manual I've ever owned! I almost hate to place it in the garage.
