There’s a good chance that many readers of this magazine grew up with the humble Haynes workshop manual. I certainly did and with the help of one, learned how to keep my first car on the road doing everything from setting the plugs and points gaps to grinding valves and more.

This is simply because the skills learned of necessity with that Minor were transferable to most of the vehicles I have ever owned.
