Our price: £13.99
Availability: 20 copies in stock

  • Looking After Mini is a hands-on practical book with a difference. It is not a workshop manual, nor is it a restoration manual. Instead, it is a distillation of Ted Connolly s experience of over 30 years of living with a Mini, during which time he has owned 12 cars, built or rebuilt dozens more of them and accumulated sometimes the hard way a fountain of knowledge of how to (and occasionally how not to) maintain and restore them and keep them in the best possible working order.
  • The author, who stresses that every serious Mini owner s first task should be to arm themselves with a proper workshop manual, says that this is a book which should be read alongside it.
  • With its easily-flowing text, it guides the reader through the routines of inspection, purchase, maintenance, repair, renovation and improvement; it reveals the techniques he has honed over his long career as a Mini doctor ; and it describes the necessary DIY and TLC skills the Mini owner is most likely to need in order to prolong their car s good health and active life and their sheer enjoyment of owning it.
  • As the classic Mini grows older, so is it held in ever-increasing affection, and in sharing his skills and experiences with other Mini enthusiasts, the author offers this book as his personal tribute to an automotive icon.
