Austin Healey Sprite - The Complete Story

English | 2022 | ISBN: 0719840511 | 176 pages | True EPUB | 30.85 MB
Beginning with the much-loved 'Frogeye' Sprite in the 1950s, and ending with the closure of the MG factory and the end of Midget production in 1979, the 'Spridget' has been one of Britain's favorite cars. Designed to fill an obvious gap in the market for an affordable sports car, Sprite and Midget have not lost their attraction for the sporting motorist on a budget. This book is born out of more than 40 years of messing with all sorts of cars and 30 years of playing with Sprites and Midgets. More or less every car I've owned has been modified in some small way if not radically. This book is aimed at anyone who is thinking of modifying any older car and bringing it up to modern performance and reliability, especially Sprites, Midgets and A40s, and maybe even Morris 1000s. Second Edition has a new Tools section as well as updates on other sections, together with easier navigation with proper chapter and section marks.
