Here are some original MGTD manuals and parts book covers. Click the image for a larger view.

Factory Manuals

Note: The colors on the covers of all these manuals should be the same but my scanner does not seem to be reproducing them accurately. In addition the sun and other environmental effects tend to remove the blue from the color leaving a greenish tinge to the manuals.
