IMHO, the Bentley and the Haynes are a compliment to each other, and they
are excellent manuals.

Subject: Which manual(s) should I buy
I hate to bother everyone with more simple questions, but I searched the
archive for "shop manual" and "workshop manual" and those terms seem to
appear in an extremely high number of posts to the 6-pack list. There
seem to be several shop and workshop manuals for the TR6, many of which
are available on Ebay, and I am wondering which would be the best to
buy, or if some of them are basically the same, or if there is a better
one I have not listed below, or if I should buy several different ones.
Three different ones I have found are a maroon cover 166 page
reproduction of an official manual, as seen at:

<http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6762&;
item=2433912456> &category=6762&item=2433912456
The next one is the from Robert Bentley publishing, has a green cover
and includes official driver's handbook and workshop manual, as seen in
the following:

item=2434159094#ebayphotohosting>
&category=6762&item=2434159094#ebayphotohosting
Lastly, there is a book by Clymer Publications, named Triumph Service
Repair Handbook as seen in this ad:

item=2434045328> &category=6762&item=2434045328
I also saw a competition preparation manual for sale, but I am not
likely going to be racing, although I may want to increase engine
performance. I read somewhere that a good Stromberg carburetor manual
was a must also, so if anyone has a recommendation there also, I would
really appreciate it. I just found books4cars.com, and they have a bunch
of TR6 books listed, including Haynes manuals for the TR6 and
Strombergs.
Thanks,
Bruce
