Book Reviews of How to Build a Cheap Sports Car (Motorbooks Workshop)

Book Review: This one should get 6 stars!
Summary: 5 Stars

Just finished reading this very enjoyable book. Well written, fun, and very understandable explanations of technical concepts. Photo and text layouts outstanding, and no typos that I could find. A highly recommended companion to the "Champion" book, and/or any (especially US) Locost special builder, whether armchair or greasy fingered! Tanner now on my list of favorite automotive authors, right next to Staniforth and van Valkenburgh.
