Book Description

Haynes Performance Manual Series October 2003
The "classic" Mini is a sixties icon that remained in production for 40 years. Unveiled to the press in August 1959, the Mini ignored many long-established design principles and bristled with innovative features. The car instantly won favor with tuners and modifiers, and today the Mini remains one of the most popular project cars with performance tuners. A thriving support structure of clubs, specialist magazines and parts suppliers ensures that the Mini will remain popular with tuning enthusiasts for many years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gave to a Mini-Enthusiast....He Loved It, January 10, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mini Performance Manual (Haynes Performance Manual Series) (Hardcover)
Gave this book for Christmas to someone who is restoring a 1963 mini. He has restored several other cars and is well adept with engines/restoration. This is his first mini restoration.

The recipient loved the book. He said it covered the engine comprehensively and with good diagrams. I was able to look at it myself, and it indeed has step-by-step in depth pictures and explanations about a variety of engine components and body projects one might undertake. The main strength is the clarity and depth of instruction on addressed topics.

The range of information seems quite useful if one is completing a restoration of any magnitude-- from engine to body repairs.

This said, it does not really address engine building from the ground up-- it presupposes an intact engine. I found there are several other books written specifically about these engines (if you are starting ground-up), and but this addresses repairs and maximizing performance.

The photos are quite nice, and the book large and glossy. It is a reference book that should be on the shelf of any mini owner.
