5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for Midget lovers, 16 Dec 2004
By Mr. John Evans "jodelaviator" (Northamptonshire UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Terry Horler is the Sprite and Midget detective. His invaluable book will help anyone restore their car to correct specifications. As these cars grow older, and more people alter them both cosmetically and dynamically, it gets more and more difficult to know what the makers intended when they constructed these vehicles. This is especially the case with steering wheels, grilles, badges and interior fittings. So if you want to try a Sprite or Midget as the makers intended (and - a personal view - at their best) let Terry be your guide. If not, and you simply want the pleasure of the best place to browse nostalically about these cars, Terry's book does that job too. A few cars he pictures have minor alterations, but there are some gems as well. Rare colours are illustrated (such as Pale Pink) and there is a mass of information on year by year changes. Overall no-one has come close with other books about these endearing little sports cars. It is also clear that the people buying these cars for serious money want them to be correct. Terry's book can make you wealthier, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Midget and Sprite: Terry Horler, 10 Dec 2003
This reference book is a must for anyone owning, restoring or planning to buy a sprite or midget. It is full of well researched information and excellent colour photographs.

During a 10 year rebuild of my frogeye sprite, this book not only provided valuable information but also an inspiration towards what proved to be a very successful concours restoration. In essence, it proved to be my bible.
