The Restoration of Antique and Classic Cars (Book One of Antique & Classic Cars)
This handbook serves as a vital resource for automotive enthusiasts embarking on the restoration journey of vintage British cars, especially those predating World War II. Its aim is to guide amateurs through the process of restoring their vehicles to their original or "Show Model" condition.
The book covers various aspects of restoration, including selecting a suitable car, dismantling, treating the frame, suspension, steering, axles, brakes, wheels, engine, and gearbox. Additionally, there are sections dedicated to the fuel system, controls, electrical components, body frame, painting, coach trimming, special finishes, and workshop setup.
Originally titled "The Restoration of Vintage and Thoroughbred Cars," this comprehensive guide was first published in the United Kingdom in 1958. Authored by Wheatley and Morgan, it remains a timeless classic, accompanied by its companion volume, "Antique & Classic Cars: Their Maintenance and Operation." Together, they offer invaluable insights into the meticulous process of overhauling and restoring antique and pre-war British automobiles.
