The best body and fittings restoration book is the Lyndsay Porter 'Guide to
Purchase and DIY Restoration of the MGB', republished by Haynes as 'MGB
Restoration Guide' available from Amazon and others. For mechanical the
best is the original Leyland Workshop Manual available from the MGOC in the
UK, I have heard the Bentley book is based on it but haven't seen one.
