5.0 out of 5 stars
AH 100/100-6/3000 Restoration Guide is a must buy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Austin-Healey 100, 100-6, 3000 Restoration Guide (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
I had an opportunity to ready and review this book even before I purchased it at Amazon.com. The book is very well thought out, easy to find the answers to specific restoration and concours questions and filled with specific picture examples.This book is a must library addition for any owner of the Austin Healey marque both for reference and the enjoyment of reading about interesting insights into the history of the cars and the people who were the inspiration behind the production of the cars.

4.0 out of 5 stars
IF and only IF . . .,
By Mark Pfeifer (Charlotte, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Austin-Healey 100, 100-6, 3000 Restoration Guide (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
If and ONLY if you are actively restoring a "Big Healey" for concours, this is a very useful book. When the authors call it a "restoration guide" they mean something very specific. Concours fanatics care about things like plating on screw heads, and the texture of wire loom tape. This book is crammed full of such stultifyingly dull minutae. It's powerful in the hands of a concours restorer, but almost useless if you're a shade tree mechanic trying to figure out how to replace a rusty fender. For everyone else it's guaranteed instant somnulence. Try and read any 5 pages of this book. I guarantee you you're snoring before you've turned two pages. But again, if you're a Healey concours fanatic, this is your book, man. Read it, live it, love it.

Hoax,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Austin-Healey 100, 100-6, 3000 Restoration Guide (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
The seller is a hoax. (Anybooks) He never sends the book offered and also he puts a higher price on the book. The book was suppposed to be shipped from Miami to Miami and it has been a month since I paied for the book and I have not received nothing. On the other hand I have a friend who ordered the same book from the same seller a few months ago and never got nothing.... The seller is a hoax. Anybooks.
