MG MGB Technical - MGB Roadsters 1962-1980 ISBN 1 869826 108

A good book this for a tenner. No blurb, just 30 or so contemporary road tests and articles from serious motoring mags of the period, Autosport, Motor, etc. All reprinted in their original format with many photos, charts and drawings. Includes a 1965 Used car test, Nicholson and Works Stage 6 tuned cars and the Automatic.

Much technical stuff too in those days, rather than just a count round the cup holders. How about 1 1/2 pints of oil needed to top up after 470 miles, juddering clutches, synchro that can be beaten on second and third, reverse needing a slap to engage, 20 around town and 30 on a run, lumpy tickover, wheel vibration, racks covered in oil, etc etc.

Really puts motoring of this period into perspective in case we forgot(!) and could well reassure and stop many ghost hunts!
