This vintage gem from the J.W. Pickavant Archive is the SykesโPickavant Automotive Technical Data Book 90, the essential workshop companion for petrolโengined cars and light commercial vehicles throughout the 1980s.
Packed with decades of engineering insight, this iconic reference book supported mechanics long before digital databases existed, helping them diagnose, repair and keep vehicles on the road with confidence. A true piece of SP history, and a reminder of how far innovation has come.
Did you ever use one of these in the workshop? Do you still have a copy tucked away? Weโd love to hear your memories.
