I think you are right that the pictures are of a better quality.  I'll
have to compare it the Bentley side by side to see if there are more
pictures in this manual.  Now I'm tempted to keep it because of that.
Don't know if I should thank you since I wanted to pare down all my
excess stuff! LOL!

I cut-up my Bentley for 3-hole punch binder to make a more concise
manual.  However, the paper is so flimsy I wish I hadn't.  Luckily my new
van came with a Bentley.  The paper on this 80/81 manual is definitely
better.
