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. Daniel has been continuously developing his own 'Spridget' for years, and really does know what works and what doesn't when it comes to building a fast Midget or Sprite. 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.
This new edition contains updated information for parts and suppliers, many new photos, and features new material covering aerodynamics, including results from testing the effect of modifications at the MIRA wind tunnel.
With over 400 mainly colour photos and exclusive tuning advice, this is a MUST for any Sprite or Midget owner.
Daniel has been developing his own car for years and has learned much about the practical problems of tuning and modifying cars, even including testing in the Horiba-MIRA full scale wind tunnel. A current and former contributor to numerous magazines, including Top Car, Fast Car, MG Enthusiast, Track & Race Car, Grassroots Motorsport, and British Car, Daniel, after a stint in the RAF, is currently a civil servant. He is married with two daughters and lives in Nuneaton, England. Daniel is a licensed Motor Sport Assocation (MSA) Scrutineer, and officiates at diverse race meetings throughout the Midlands. His other books include “How to modify your retro or classic car for high performance” and “How to plan and build a fast road car”, both part of Veloce’s popular SpeedPro Series.
