Hello Mark,

I like the Bentley best.  It's basically a re-print of the factory
service manual (with the owners handbook added).  The Bentley has
much larger print, making it easier for old folks like myself to
read.  It's available (off & on) through the parts suppliers and
sometimes other sources like Classic Motorbooks.  I find
it very useful, and use it in conjuction with the Haynes.

FWIW there are two Haynes manuals.  Although they have the same part
number, they are very different books.  The "original" one has a
gray cover, revised edition has a blue cover.  The photographs and
much of the text differ between the two editions.  Worth having
both IMHO, but the older one is probably getting hard to find.

Cheers,
Bob
(got all the books)
