That's because of the down-to-earth buying advice, which can be read in conjunction with the restoration chapters to help you assess the level of work needed to cure any problems. And if you do plan to get your hands dirty, then this book is packed full or real world advice on restoration and maintenance, the ideal companion to a workshop manual." – Triumph World
