Posted: Sat Jun 19, 2004 7:54 pmBoth 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

Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2004 8:04 amBoth 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 !
