Haynes - Triumph Spitfire owners workshop manual
This is a useful addition to the original BL workshop manual. Contains many photographs of repair and maintenance operations and may therefore be more suitable to the novice Spitfire owner than than the original BL workshop manual. Note: there are some minor errors in it, like every Haynes manual seems to have.
