This book covers virtually everything you will want to know about how your Sprite or Midget was made. Painstakingly researched and endlessly detailed. I refer to my copy constantly.

Horler's Original Sprite and Midget has to be the most thorough, in-depth look at these great little sports cars. I read and enjoyed the book before I owned my Sprite. Now that I am restoring one, the book is even more valuable to me.

If you are looking for a book that tells the history and folklore of the Sprite, this may not be your book. (Though Horler's brief history is very well written.)

The photos are helpfull and the color codes and information on production dates is invaluable. The one thing I wish there were more of, was more pictures and perhaps information on arkley, lenham, speedwell, and spitznel which were companies involved with racing that modified the body shape and tuned the cars for higher performance. They did at least discuss the innocenti. Apart from that I must admit I have read and reread the section on the mk 3 midgets more than I can count. I love this book.
