MG Midget (1958-1980) : livres - histoire et modèles

Original Sprite and Midget - The Restorer's Guide to All Austin-Healey and MG Models, 1958-79

A restorer's guide to the Sprite and Midget. The aim of this book is to reveal, in words and colour photographs, how the many models - from 'Frogeye' Sprite Mkl to 'rubber-bumpered' 1500 Midget - altered in detail through the 21 years of production between 1958 and 1979.

Fourteen distinct versions, two basic body styles, engines of four different capacities and numerous export variations mean that an amazing number of specification changes, large and small, occurred over the years.
Drawing from factory production records, parts lists and catalogues, as well as the accumulated knowledge of a dedicated author, this book provides the most thorough production survey of the Sprites and Midgets ever published.

Accompanying the authoritative text are over 225 specially commissioned colour photographs showing every permutation of Spridget specification in outstanding detail.
Careful selection of cars of the highest quality and originality - two of them have travelled fewer than 1000 miles from new ensures that the photographs provide a valuable reference source. Indispensable for all owners, restorers, buyers and enthusiasts.
