While not as detailed as the Ron Champion book, this Tiger Avon build book gives an overview of how a Ford Sierra based, independent rear suspension "Seven Type" car is built. It's a useful book to have if you're planning to build your own Seven-type roadster from scratch. There is a useful section on how they built a fibreglass body for a small formula type single seater as well.

I'm giving it only 3 stars because I own almost all Seven books available on Amazon and I think the Ron Champion (Easier to read) & Keith Tanner (Lots more full colour, step-by-step pictures but lacking info on building the frame because he bought one) books are higher up on my list of priorities. However, if you're thinking of building your own Sevenesque car, then this book is a must-have!

I bought this book as an adjunct to Ron Champion's book on the same subject. Well written and also well illustrated, it is another approach to the same subject. While Champion's book translates metric measurement units into english, this one does not. That however, does not detract from the usefullness of the book as that can be fairly easily done anyway.
