If you are really looking for a restoration manual as opposed to a
workshop manual or a maintenance manual the only one I know of is
"Mini Restoration" by Jim Tyler ISBN 1-85532-229-3 . It's pretty good,
not great. You will need a workshop manual in addition.

Another book I really like is "How to Modify Your Mini" by David
Vizard. I think it's back in print. It's a bit beyond restoration but
there are a lot of modifications that should be done on the average
restoration.

Cheers,

Kelley

And Elvis was sitting next to "Steve68s" <steve68s(remove)

then they turned to me and said:

If it's the one I'm thinking of, the Lindsay Porter book really does
make an excellent place to start.
