Howard, I have the Bentley guide and it's very good. I also have a Haynes
and it is good as well. If you only get one, I would get the Bentley as it
also includes the Driver's (i.e., Owner's) manual. Another good book would
be Lindsay Porter's DIY guide - I am not sure what it is called these
days, it was re-issued a few years ago with a new name. But a search on
bn.com should give you the title.
