This totally revised, updated and enlarged book is THE complete guide to building a fast MG Midget or Austin-Healey Sprite for road or track.

Best of all, this book covers every aspect of the car, from the tyre contact patch to the rollover bar, and from radiator back to exhaust tailpipe. With 400 mainly colour photos and exclusive tuning advice, this is a MUST for any Sprite or Midget owner.
