Book - "Guide to Purchase & DIY Restoration of the Morris Minor & 1000" by Lindsay Porter

I bought this on Ebay a few months ago and have used it quite a bit for the stuff so far. It contains a brief introduction to the car and its history, and a useful guide to buying (faults to look for, checks to do etc etc) as well as the normal maintenace stuff.

Its probably only any real good for someone without much experience (like me) because the stuff inside seems pretty straight forward and I doubt that anyone with a good idea of what to do would need this really. I've found some useful tips etc in there, but I have a pretty limited knowledge of this sort of thing, and for the most part even I think that what the book is saying is common sense. It's still useful to me though - to make sure I'm doing things right.

There is a useful reference section at the back of the book which includes colour schemes, explaination of chassis numbers, and production changes.

This is now out of print I think, but its still available on Amazon.com last time I checked.

Pro's: The step by step stuff is useful to follow for beginners like me.
Con's: The layout of the pictures/steps in the book aren't the easiest to keep track of.
