Haynes Manual

Post by Craggyisland »

Not sure if this has been posted before, but Amazon are listing a Haynes Manual for the McLaren M23, written by Ian Wagstaff (who wrote the excellent Lotus 72 manual).
Publication date is shown as June 2013 :(

That'll be out shortly before Rush hits cinemas, then - nice timing!

I'll be picking up a copy, that's for sure.

Thanks for the link. This one will hopefully have some good pics in it, given the subject matters age and accessibility. Period shots are always nice but I suspect it may be from a restored subject. The only Haynes Manual I've looked at like this are for the Spitfire and Lancaster aircraft and the Lancaster one is proving very useful for my super detailed, and super slow build, of Tamiyas 1/48 kit.

The Lotus Haynes book is fine.....
But nowhere near as fun as the Wallace and Gromit manual!
