1.0 out of 5 stars Midget restoration, July 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mg Midget, Austin Healey and Sprite Restoration Manual (Restoration Manuals) (Hardcover)
About as helpful as a comic book. Pictures look as if they were taken by a blind five year old. A complete waste of money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too broad..., August 28, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mg Midget, Austin Healey and Sprite Restoration Manual (Restoration Manuals) (Hardcover)
While the book is nicely written, it is too broad in it's scope of the different vehicles and not specific enough in many categories. It also provides way too many photos, and restoration comments of vehicles that were badly damaged, which is not necessarily the case with good, clean restorations.
It would be a far better publication if (they) had addressed the individual vehicles; Sprite, MG, Midget in separate manuals. It also would be much better in color.
Overall there were only a few categories that were specific to a Bugeye, and in those only a few were specific and detailed enough to be of help.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Hansen" Midget/Sprite Restoration and buying Review, August 2, 2006
This review is from: Mg Midget, Austin Healey and Sprite Restoration Manual (Restoration Manuals) (Hardcover)
I found this book to be very helpful with tips on what to look for when you plan on buying an MG Midget or AH Sprite. It also appears to be verygood for help with restoration of either.
