Found myself 3.2 G50 at last

[chris milner]

Well it took some finding but finally got myself a 1989 61000 mile unmodified targa. Owned for the last 30 years by someone local and known to my Indy.
Hopefully get my hands on it Friday.
I was looking at manual to help to get to know the car and be able to do some basics. What the best? Any PDF versions around, I usually work from my iPad. Don’t mind paying
Cheers

Congratulations, your car sounds great, looking forward to seeing some photos.

These are the 2 books I have, the one I would definitely recommend is the Bentley book on the left, it's not cheap but very comprehensive. They do sometimes appear used on the Impact Bumpers forum or Ebay. The only thing it misses out on is the G50 gearbox rebuild, but does cover the G50 for clutches or engine/gearbox removal.

If you plan to do any work yourself it's worth the cost, it's my go to manual.

Why is this book £170?

Quality costs

Available here for less than £100. I was lucky and picked mine up used, even then I think I paid around £60.
