Apparently John Haynes has left us this month.

1983 Mazda B200 Sundowner. My first Haynes.
I had a Chilton's for it, too.
Not sure anymore which one I wasn't impressed with...

In my neck of the woods when I was young, Haynes was the only one printing manuals for the ‘Fureign’ cars that I either owned or worked on for friends and family. Chilton never seemed to have what I was looking for , but I never contacted them directly either to see if they offered more than what was on my store shelves at the places that carried the manuals.
