Tuning the Mini

Tuning the Mini by Clive Trickey, third edition, first impression December 1968, published by Speed and Sports Publications Ltd as a Speed Sport Motobook. A paperback guide to tuning Mini engines, illustrated throughout with diagrams and a cover photograph of a racing Mini. Priced 17s 6d on the cover, and originally sold alongside Cars and Car Conversions magazine. The front and back covers show a dark green background with a blue ring design framing the car photograph. There is cracking and wear to the spine, with some loss at the head and tail, and splitting visible along the hinge. The title page has a newspaper clipping taped onto it, giving gear ratio figures for various Mini models. The text pages shown are clear, with diagrams illustrating cylinder head modifications. Overall this is a well-used working copy, showing honest wear consistent with its age and practical use.
