Customer Reviews

For British Motor Cars of the 1950's and 1960's.

I bought this in 1967 to guide me in taking care of a Triumph TR3. It was just what I needed. Of particular use, it explains how to adjust valves, tune SU, Solex and Zenith carburators and how to go about adjusting the timing. Also covers, spark plugs, fuel supply, electrical and lubrication matters. Gives straight talk about why you're doing these various steps, how things go wrong and how to make them right. A general maintenance focus not an overhaul or repair manual. Originally written in 1955 and revised in 1962. Review based on Fourth Impression of 1967. Technical tune-up data for AC, Armstrong Siddeley, Austin, Austin Healy, Bristol, Ford, Hilman, Humber, Jaguar, Jowett, Lanchester, Lea-Francis, M.G., Morris, Morgan, Renault, Riley, Rover, Singer, Standard, Sunbeam-Talbot, Sunbeam, Triumph, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, Wolseley.
