The The Ultimate Mini Restoration Manual by Iain Ayre
The Ultimate Mini Restoration Manual gives you all the info you need to evaluate your skills and attitude, get your garage sorted, choose the right Mini, weld-up the rust, paint it, overhaul the engine, sort the rest of the mechanicals, retrim then make the car faster, smoother, sharper, and a lot more fun!
Many books of this type, while offering a boot-full of practical advice and guidance, often end up being as enjoyable to read as your granny's shopping list - however, Ayre's dry sense of humour is present throughout, and I even found myself laughing out loud as I absorbed one or two of his eminently valuable lessons on Mini restorationNew Zealand Classic Car In short, if you're into Minis in any fashion at all, this is a hugely enjoyable and informative book that deserves to be on your bookshelf.

Born in Glasgow and now resident in Canada, Iain Ayre is both opinionated and unfocused, and was warmly encouraged by his school to leave. After several random gap year jobs he decided to take an English and art teaching degree, but as teaching is hard work, he became a model portfolio photographer, cartoonist, advertising copywriter, copy chief and creative director, ending up as a writer at J. Walter Thompson in Mayfair. Unwisely, he launched an ad agency, and when that ended in tears, ambled into motoring journalism, freelancing for Triumph World, Classic Cars, MG Enthusiast, Kitcar, Japanese Performance, Redline, Jaguar World and Australian and US titles. He launch-edited Classic Ford, and wrote fourteen books about cars and one about gourmet dog food. In his spare time, he creates the occasional car: a Mini based three-wheeler, spaceframed XK120 replicas, a propane turbo V8 Cobra, and currently an Art-Deco-inspired Rolls-Royce boat-tailed two-seat speedster in aluminium.
