Wilkins And R&r Book Source?

[marcfuller]

Does anyone know of a source for the Robinshaw and Ross book and the Miles Wilkins book on fiberglass?

[stubbs]

:rolleyes: Hi, I am also looking for these books if anyone can help, many thanks Martin

[nebogipfel]

Both are longish out of print and becoming difficult

Much of the relevant info from Miles' book is available on <a href='http://homepage.ntlworld.com/fillpoke/glass1.htm' target='_blank'>http://homepage.ntlworld.com/fillpoke/glass1.htm</a> (The site acknowleges his source)

Hope that helps


By the way, we need a good authoratative and up to date book on the Elan Any budding authors out there

Both books do come up on ebay. I have recently purchased 6 differing volumes from the Osprey Classic Car Restoration Series (Wilkins book on glass fibre is no. 3). The Robinshaw/Ross book will take a little longer and they normally cost a lot.

Another possible source is a specalist car book seller. I know the one at Silverstone has various volumes from the Osprey series. (http://www.collectorscarbooks.co.uk/shop/index.html ).

As a footnote I have had both books for several years and they cannot be recommended enough !

Wow the Lotus books site looks good Brian

I wonder where they get them and why can't the likes of Amazon? They even list R&R!
