 A bit lacking Sep 13, 2007
This manual is a whole lot better than not having a manual. However, some of the text is a little difficult to understand because of the differences in terminology. "Boot" instead of "trunk" and "bonnet" instead of "hood" is only the beginning. Also found that some things, like a wiring diagram for my '74 MGB, were missing. Disassembly of some key areas is missing too, like the dashboard or "fascia". Still, if you are going to make a choice between this and the Haynes manual, buy this one. As for me, I'm still looking for something better.

 Not the Same As Hayes Manual, Adds to the Library Aug 14, 2006
MGB Automotive Repair Manual: All Models of the MGB Roadster and GT Coupe With 1798 CC (110 cu in Engine) (Haynes Manuals) by John Haynes is still the world-class best.
This book is bigger, heavier, more white space, larger print, better diagrams and illustrations, and for all those reasons, it adds to the library.
The "Driver's Handbook" is 22 pages of really basic stuff, while the special tuning manual appears to be more or less a restatement of the calibration data for the car.
If I could only afford to buy one book, I would not buy this, and would go instead with the Haynes Manual. If money is not an issue, I would buy this book fourth in line, after Haynes, "The MGB Restoration Manual" by Porter which dramatically enhances Haynes on points of restoration, and "Original MGB C-V8 Compl: The Complete Guide to All Roadster and GT Models (Original Series)" by Anders Ditlev Clausager which is a dramatic color photo compilation of what perfect looks like.

Hey, its a manual, it has instructions Mar 15, 2006
This book reads like a technical manual.... hey, this IS a technical manual. This manual is a must if you are going to work on your MG by yourself; even if you already have the haynes manual. The only bad part is all of the references to really cool tools that are not longer available. That said, this is not a good book if you are hoping for a nice plot twist at the end.
The ultimate for the MGB owner! Mar 06, 2005
This is the Bible for the MGB owner! And yes, you need to think British to read this manual! But you get the owner's manual, repair info, and the special tuning manual! What is truly amazing is that this book is still available 20+ years after the last MGB was produced! God bless the MGB owner!!!

 Invaluable! Mar 15, 2004
However, this book was much more useful than the standard auto repair book I had. You'll need a translator if you don't speak British. Also an interesting bit of history. The book contains all the text of 3 official publications, the owners manual, the factory repair manual, and the "special tuning" manual.
