I have a copy of this book, just went into the stores about two weeks ago.
Great reading the bloke worked at ROOTES and has got heaps of inside
knowledge. And the photo's; they are fantastic, glossy colour prints in a
designated section in the middle and plenty of great quality B&W's
throughout the rest of the book.
There's info about other contemporary roadsters for comparison. If you
weren't sure about getting it, I would say go for it!
Anthony, Alpine II
Tiger I
PS To Dave, about the horn problem, I would say the horn needs to be
disassembled and the points cleaned and adjusted. Just clean them with
Glass paper and adjust the points until you get good tone with the engine at
idle, everything else will look after itself I'd say.
