This book is exactly what every new MGB owner needs. It describes the history of Morris Garages and gives a lot of advice on maintaining and restoring your car.

This guide is an overview of the day-to-day things that an average MGB owner needs to be aware of to properly maintain their vehicle. It includes milage checks, and common mishaps of problems and their fixes. An outstanding guide at a great price for all MGB owners.

All in all a good book, but Jim Tyler's writing style is relatively poor and his organization is worse. For example, he claims he'll only lightly cover restoration, because there are plenty of larger, more in-depth books for that purpose, then proceeds to spend half the book explaining restoration.

But what he lacks in polish and writing skill he makes up with in enthusiasm. And the "Surviving breakdowns" section is great. The back cover even says "don't leave home without this book". I don't.
