Right, i'm just looking on amazon to get a couple of books on the mini.

I've already got:

Haynes Workshop Manual
How to modify your mini (David Vizard)
Tuning the A-series engine

I was looking at buying Bill Sollis' book "Building, Preparing and Racing Your Mini" (just to read through and stuff) and the haynes restoration manual. I just wondered if anyone had these books and are they worth buying/reading?

Cheers! :dontgetit:
