Editorial Review: Product Description: The ideal guide for authentic restorations, covering Sprite and Midget models manufactured from 1958 to 1979. The best source for original specifications and equipment for every Austin-Healey model produced, from the first "Bugeye" Sprites of 1958 and the Mk1 MG Midgets of 1961; to the 1971 Sprite MkV and the 1974 Midget MkIV. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A good guide for restorersThe photos are helpfull and the color codes and information on production dates is invaluable. The one thing I wish there were more of, was more pictures and perhaps information on arkley, lenham, speedwell, and spitznel which were companies involved with racing that modified the body shape and tuned the cars for higher performance. They did at least discuss the innocenti. Apart from that I must admit I have read and reread the section on the mk 3 midgets more than I can count. I love this book. Rating: - Great, detailed information, with excellent picturesHorler's Original Sprite and Midget has to be the most thorough, in-depth look at these great little sports cars. I read and enjoyed the book before I owned my Sprite. Now that I am restoring one, the book is even more valuable to me. If you are looking for a book that tells the history and folklore of the Sprite, this may not be your book. (Though Horler's brief history is very well written.) Rating:  - A must for the committed Sprite or Midget owner.This book covers virtually everything you will want to know about how your Sprite or Midget was made. Painstakingly researched and endlessly detailed. I refer to my copy constantly. Browse for similar items by category:
