Here's another one: The Ultimate Mini Restoration Manual, by Iain Ayre. Here's the subtitle: How to Choose, Restore, Paint, Trim, Overhaul, Update, Upgrade, Grossly Overpower and generally Have Fun with a Classic Mini.
Of course, not all of that could be captured in one book and Iain mentions using the book along with a shop manual.
As for the FUN part, here's an example. " 'Carburettor' is a French word that translates as 'leave it alone.' "
The more I know about Minis, the more I know I don't know about Minis.
And another one, The Journey That Never Was. I haven't read this one, yet, but I have it on order. There are excerpts from it in the January issue of MiniWorld, and you can find a write up on Amazon.
It's 1961 and two women in their early 20s drive a 1959 Mini around the world.
The more I know about Minis, the more I know I don't know about Minis.
