Just noticed not one, but TWO glaring errors on the front cover of that Autodata book! The engine capacities, should be 2127cc and 2316cc - they managed to get the 1986cc correct so why get the others wrong?
... that just shows how little I know Dave!

Re: the manual - I saw it advertised in eBay for a fiver before I even bought the car, it is useful to know what one is looking at when buying and I'd planned to see a few more (in the end I thought the Royal Barge was just fine for me).

I'm guessing from what you are saying that I should have bought the Haynes manual - so I'll order one today.

One learns something new every day (... well, maybe not every day).

PS. I've just ordered the Haynes book from eBay (second hand).
