Product Description

Product Description

Although production of these great British sports cars ceased many years ago, enthusiasm for them continues unabated. Now fully revised and updated to include the rebuilding of a car with a Heritage bodyshell this book, first gives the reader a basic history of the Midget and Sprite, tells the prospective buyer how to find a good example, and then gets down to the restoration. Particular attention is given to bodywork repairs, interior, upholstery and hood renovation and repair, parts interchangability and tuning/modification.

2.0 out of 5 stars Be sure of what you need, 22 May 2003
On the face of it, Lindsey Porter's book is a good read for all Spridget enthusiasts. There's no doubt that, even if you never intend to do any of the work yourself, you'll benefit from the knowledge of how one of these cars is put together.

However, this book will be of most use to those who already have that knowledge.And they are the very people least likely to need it.

The black and white photographs are small and it's not always easy to see what's what. And while much is covered, the book attempts to cover basic restoration of many models. It is unable, therefore, to go into detail about apparently trivial matters such as the fitting of headlights and bumpers, for example. There's an excellent section on engine stripping. But it was irritating that there's nothing on reassmbly.

An interesting read and useful to many. Poor rating, though, because attempt to include much gives breadth but not detail. If you're a novice, there's not enough here. If you're experienced, you won't need it.
