Original Sprite & Midget -Original: The Restorer's Guide
Author: Terry Horler

Just went to buy this book (Amazon; Chapters) and apparently it's not available and the used prices (over 80 bucks) seemed excessive.

Suggestions?

Did you try motorbooks.com ? I think that's where mine came from, of course that was 2 years ago...

Little British Car Company www.lbcarco.com occasionally has a copy or two. A friend bought one from them a couple of months ago.

Thanks guys - I called Little British and they're out of stock but may be able to scare one up. Motorbooks doesn't currently list the title. WH Smith in the UK lists a 1994 edition - doesn anyone know if there is a difference between 1994 and 2003 versions?

Books I do have (and recommend) is an original hard cover Bug-Eye manual (for reading in the house) and the Haynes manual (for getting greasy in the garage).

Mine is the 2003 version but I suspect that it's just a reprint of the 1994 original. The preface in mine is dated 1993.

Looks like I'll be doing without that particular reference - here's a note from the Little British Car Co.:

"It looks like I can get it but the cost on it is crazy like $120 now.

Best Regards,

Jeff Zorn"

This is consistent with other sites that were suggesting $ 80. Touch wood, it'll be reprinted.

Just checked Amazon and four retailers seem to be offering this book. I clicked on "4 New from $60.66" and those retailers are pricing their offerings from $60 to $138!

The Amazon URL I'm referring to is:

HTH...
