Dear list,
I bought the Roots "Light Car Range" manual for cars with 1725 engines
for reference during my upcoming restoration of my early Series V Alpine.
I was disappointed to find essentially nothing useful on body repairs,
and it is difficult or impossible to figure what does and does not apply
to the Alpine.
I gather there never was a manual specifically for the Series V. Is there
any other manual specifically for earlier Alpines, as opposed to a generic
Rootes light car manual, that would have useful info on Alpine body work
and running gear?
I would think there would be a good deal of overlap if there was a manual
for the Series III or IV that covered body work and suspension. It is a
real bummer to pry off something that seems stuck, thus destroying it,
only to find there was a hidden bolt holding it.
