The Complete MG Workshop and Tuning Manual by W. E. Blower

The Complete MG Workshop and Tuning Manual by W. E. Blower is one of the classic technical references for early MG motor cars and remains particularly useful to owners, restorers and enthusiasts working with pre-war and early post-war MG models. Commonly known among MG enthusiasts as the “Blower” manual, it provides extensive practical information on servicing, maintenance, mechanical adjustment, fault finding and performance tuning.

Published by Motor Racing Publications Limited, the manual is extensively illustrated throughout with technical drawings, diagrams, sectional views and mechanical details intended to assist with both routine maintenance and more involved workshop procedures. MG Workshop and Tuning Manual covers the early MG range from the M-type through to the TF 1500 era, making it especially relevant to collectors and restorers of vintage MG sports cars.

This substantial hardcover contains 501 pages of workshop text and illustrations, followed by pages 502–511 reserved for workshop notes, which remain unused in this copy. Page 512 contains a further technical diagram. Particularly importantly, MG Workshop and Tuning Manual retains the two large fold-out technical diagrams at the rear, features that are sometimes missing from used copies and which significantly improve the completeness and usefulness of the manual.
