Does anyone have a favorite shop, rapair, or restoration manual to recommend to a new Midget owner. Just brought my 'new' car home yesterday. Has not been licensed since '87. Solid car - but I'll have to go through everything.
The Bentley manuals are far and away the best available. They are reprints of the factory books, and very comprehensive. Available from many sources, Moss, Vicky Brit, etc.
Here's a link to Bentley Publishing that shows what is available.
Agreed... Bentley is great. I have Haynes also because I have found that often one will have a picture or instruction that is better than the other. The Moss motors site has great pics of groups of parts ie. brakes= it shows all the parts in a line drawing. I printed the pics that pertained to my car and added them to my books. Any question asked has been answered here on this site... but if you need it in the next few minutes have a bentley and a haynes at your finger tips
Bentley is the best if you ask me, =but I also have Autopress and Haynes handy.
Well I think I have everything ever printed on Sprites but those 3 books or any one of the above should work fine.
If you can't find what you're looking for in any of those books, just ask here
Good luck. I am going through a similar process. "Re-doing" a '64 Sprite that has sat since at least 1987. Using basic's now (ie w/o manual) -- but probably will get into harder items this summer and need the book.
