Another excellent UK book to consider is " Spitfire & GT 6 : A guide to
originality " , by John Thomasson . Not a repair manual and not very
technical , but very informative about the different original parts and
accessories in the different Spitfires and GT 6 's . Nice detailed
photographs and easy to read .

Kind regards .

I do not own a Spitfire, yet, and I do not have a lot of automotive
knowledge, yet.  Which manual would be the best one to get for general
knowledge, Hanyes, Bentley, or The Factory Service Manual?

I would like to purchase one manual so that I can picture what you are
talking about, and see how things work.  I will purchase the others when I
purchase a car.

I believe I am looking for plenty of drawings, photographs, and an overview
of the different systems on the car.  I do not need very technical
information like the torque for bolts, etc.

Thank you,
