12jaguar Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Just a quick heads up that Haynes have just released a Stirling Owners manual http://www.amazon.co.uk/Short-Stirling-Manual-Owners-Workshop/dp/0857337912 IMHO, it's very well put together and there's some excellent interior shots plus operational photos which have not been published previously, including updates on the various components etc that are being restored Scarily, if you look close enough there's a picture of yours truly in there (albeit 8 years ago LOL) John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Alan Bardell Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I will have to add this to my wants list right now. thanks for posting ,John, I had no idea this book was in the pipe line. The Short Stirling has been a favourite of mine ever since the Airfix kit of the mid '60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12jaguar Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Hi Tom Thought it had gone quiet on that front. Please keep at it, if nothing else every time I dig out some photos to look for info for you I discover something else that helps us with the 1:1 version. Also, my Chairmans' 100,000 word bible on the subject will be published in the Autumn, will post that when I know John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old thumper Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Great news, I am sure it will help a lot of people save money on garage bills. When I had my Stirling I couldn't even work out how to put the spare wheel on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 My Stirling "Owners' Workshop Manual" arrived today courtesy of the Post Office and Amazon. It's great! Thoroughly recommended. SWMBO was a bit narked that I buried myself in its pages when I was supposed to be cooking but the book was (almost) worth the ensuing interview! What's next from Haynes - anyone know?
