Hey up,

I'm collecting the Osprey "How to restore" books like this one.


Does anyone know how many books were in the series, I've seen number 15.

Even better would be a list of all the titles.

If anyone has any of the books that they'd like to sell, please get in touch.

Cheers

Chris

This link gives a fair few. No way to tell that it is complete, though.

Osprey How To ...
Also noticed that a lot of the titles are not available - looks like you'll be scouring the car boots

How to Restore Fibreglass bodywork by Miles Wilkins... Often referred to as the book to use for old Lotus and TVR glass repairs. Somone lent me a copy and now it's pretty sought after.

Thanks guys, I've spotted a few on the bay, but it'd be easier if I knew how many I was looking for!

Thanks again

Chris

I used to have the full set.

Sold them on ebay about three years ago.

I know, useless post, but there you go.

I originally bought them in the mid 80s for a pound each from Bargain Books in Sauchiehall St. Glasgow

Yeah, thanks for that mate. You will let me know when I used to have something you want, won't you?

Cheers

Chris
