Newbe, can you recommend a manual

[catswon]

Just purchased a 77 B, can you recommend what repair manual I should purchase. I have a 17 year old son that wants to help me keep it up. (good father and son project) Car seem to be in great shape but it is 30 years old and I know I will need one soon.

Thanks

The factory workshop manual also known as the Bentley manual. Available from almost any book seller. Amazon, Ebay, Moss, Victoria British

There are also reprints of the shop manual available on CD, http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewP...eIndexID=48439

The Moss Motors catalog is also helpful and has some technical articles.

The shop manual or the Bentley copy of the manual is good but it was printed for trained mechanics and many steps and techniques are very brief or omitted assuming a mechanic would know what to do. Is does not have photos but it does have well illustrated drawings. If you have a rubber bumper car you really need both manuals. The Haynes MGB manual covers cars from 62-80 and is written for the less experienced. It has photos for reference as well as parts drawings. I feel it should be in any beginning MGB owner's library. It's available at major book sellers and should cost less than $20.
