Right, so I've driven the car, had it assesed,approved and admired and tommorow I part with a shed load of savings for Conrads 1970 911 T targa. Looking on a few book sites the feed back on the Haynes manuals (which I've found good for the VW's) is very bad for the Porsches.
So has anyone got some manuals that they have used time and time again and swear by them and not at them??
Thanks in advance.

The wife was not best pleased that the insurance policy seems to be 'Over 30's', ironic thing is that she spent a year woking for BMW in Muchen driving around in M series individual cars, showing Brits how to drive them on the AutoBanhs... she is a better driver than me and I can't get her on the policy! Ah shame.

Serves you right for having a cute wife who's still in her 20s.
