Will there be a Haynes Classic Car Manual under your tree this Christmas?

Published: 29/11/2022

Haynes Classic Car Manuals make the perfect gift, with sale prices starting from just £25 – and an exclusive 20% discount code for FBHVC members 

The huge range covers popular classics such as Ford Anglia, Mustang and Capri, Jaguar E-Type, Mk1 and XJ6, MGA, MGB, Triumph Herald, Spitfire and TR2 thru TR6 and many more makes and models.

Every Haynes Manual is based upon a stripdown and rebuild, with step-by-step instructions and 700+ pictures and diagrams to help you carry out basic and more involved maintenance on your classic at home.


What do you get the classic car owner for Christmas? Novelty socks… another scale model? How about something much more useful in the shape of a Haynes classic car manual?

Haynes has been publishing the famous manual since 1966 (for the Austin Healey Sprite, which you can still buy). Each has been written as the vehicle is stripped down and rebuilt, and is designed to help you carry out your own routine maintenance as well as bigger tasks such as engine-out jobs, suspension renewal, interior repairs and everything between.

As well as talking you through each step of a procedure, every Haynes manual features more than 700 photos and diagrams plus wiring diagrams for key vehicle systems. Each chapter focuses on a particular mechanic element, such as the engine, cooling and heating, ignition, clutch, gearbox, braking system and so on, with a contents section and index to quickly help you find what you need.

Much of the enjoyment of owning a classic is being able to work on it yourself. You may have owned the same car for years and think you know all you need to about working on that tricky timing belt and difficult diff but a Haynes Classic Car Manual can shed new light on things – especially when you use the Fault Finder that can help diagnose 400+ problems.

The Haynes Classic Car Manuals collection covers a huge range of British (and foreign) makes – browse the library at haynes.com/en-gb/classic-car-manuals. Manuals are priced from £25, but FBHVC members can save 20% when they use the CLASSIC20 discount code at checkout. With Christmas fast approaching this is the perfect time to start dropping a few hints that Haynes.com would be a good place to get some inspiration!
