Restoring Sprites & Midgets an Enthusiasts Guide. Paperback – January 12, 2006

I hesitated to buy this book, because I already had the manual from well known printer of car manuals, which frequently gets referred to as "assembly is the reverse of disassembly" Grahame Bristow's manual is everything that the other manual is missing. From the quality of the paper (other well know manual feels like old newsprint) to the quality and quantity of pictures, it's simply a joy to pick up. Simply put, if I could have written only one book, I would be incredibly proud of myself if I had been the author of this book. If he writes any more of these, I'd buy it even if I didn't have the car to go along with the manual.

I enjoyed seeing history and break down

This is my first time with a restoration project and Bristow's book includes drawings and asides that are very helpful in trying to figure out which parts go where and in what order. My project Sprite arrived disassembled and in assorted boxes where they have been for 15 years. If you are experienced with Austin Healey Sprites and restoration you can probably work fine from the BL workshop manual, but I really appreciate the step by step examples this book offers.

This was a gift for my Husband who is restoring a 1959 model.

Good book

Has very detailed information on certain things and completely omits others, namely all of the emissions controls.

Great book for the restorer!

great buy
