Beskrivelse av varen
Tilstand: Som ny – Ikke synlig brukt
Published 1988
When the Triumph Herald, Spitfire and derivatives first appeared in the 1960s, their radically new design features made them the perfect DIY cars for owners of the day. Nowadays, it's good to see those very same features making the Spitfire, Herald, GT6 and Vitesse, the most restorable, fixable, and DIYable classic cars on the road.
You want to work on the engine, front suspension or brakes? No problem! The one-piece, hinge-forward bonnet displays all of the front end mechanical components better than on any other car. You want to replace a Herald body panel? Again no problem; take out the bolts and take it away! You want to restore the entire body shell? Lift off the body from the chassis and access to every nook and cranny is revealed.
Ease of working and easy availability of parts, trim and panels make any one of the Spitfire, GT6, Vitesse and Herald range an admirable subject for do-it-yourself restoration. This stable of vehicles with its chassis-based construction is fast becoming much sought-after, and neglected though restorable cars are still easily obtainable.
Writers Lindsay Porter and Peter Williams provide one aspect of restoration that cannot be bought or hired, that is real knowledge. Full background information is given in a fascinating Heritage chapter and invaluable advice provided about how to buy an example wisely.
Painstaking work with the project vehicles follows, producing a truly comprehensive guide to restoration. Some basic garage skills will be assumed, but whenever special skills are needed the authors will either show you how to master the new technique, or they will tell you professional assistance is really the best and possibly the cheapest way of achieving your aim.
More than 900 illustrations, mostly of practical restoration, accompany the detailed text which gives equal importance to the renovation of exterior and interior body work, mechanical components and electric; indispensable appendices list paint and trim combinations and provide a directory of clubs and specialists devoted to the range. If you own or are thinking of owning a Triumph Spitfire, GT6, Vitesse or Herald, then this book will help you to get the best from your car.
