Modifying the Electronics of Modern Classic Cars is the complete guide to modifying the electronics of your modern classic car.
Cars of the 1990s and 2000s have sufficient electronic systems to achieve great outcomes, but they’re not so complex that they’re impossible to modify. The missing link, until now, has been a hands-on manual on how to achieve those results. Well, here it is!
This book covers everything from cheap modifications that allow you to adjust engine fueling and ignition timing, to modifying car systems like power steering and even stability control. Easy upgrades to lighting, sound systems and the dashboard – right through to fitting and tuning programmable engine management. Photos and circuit diagrams guide you each step of the way.
All the car modifications are practical, and have been tried and tested by the author. From a 660cc turbo front-wheel drive screaming to 8500rpm on standard engine management but with big injectors… to a DOHC V8 rear-wheel drive with modified traction control… to a twin-turbo all-wheel drive with a custom torque split controller. Even modifying the re-gen braking on a hybrid!
Modifying the Electronics of Modern Classic Cars is essential reading for anyone who wants to exploit the true electronic potential of their 1990s-2000s cars.

The classic book on the maintenance and driving of vintage cars
Antique & Classic Cars: Their Maintenance and Operation is a companion volume to Wheatley and Morgan’s standard work The Restoration of Antique and Classic Cars, in which they took the reader right through a complete overhaul up to the point where his car was ready to start its life all over again. In this book they not only carry the story on from where it was left previously, taking the reader out onto the road with his car, and instructing him how best to maintain it in the impeccable condition it deserves, but they also retrace their steps in places and cover more fully some technical points which could merely be outlined before.
Antique & Classic Cars: Their Maintenance and Operation is equally useful to those who have no wish to restore an antique or classic car but who either possess, or feel that they might like to own, such a car which is already in reasonable condition. For the unintiated driver there is advice on the use of his car in races, rallies and concours. The selection of 42 illustrations from photographs and diagrams has been specially prepared for the book to clarify and supplement the authors’ instructions and advice.
Originally published in the United Kingdom in 1964 under the title The Maintenance and Driving of Vintage Cars, this book has since become a standard in the field of antique and vintage automotive restoration.
There is immense pleasure to be obtained from driving a car with a long stroke engine and a high axle ratio, and in mastering the difficulties of a crash gear box. This handbook points the way to the enjoyments of these delights.
The classic book on the overhaul and restoration of vintage cars
The Restoration of Antique and Classic Cars by Richard C. Wheatley and Brian Morgan is an essential handbook for the automotive enthusiast who owns or is acquiring a car in need of restoration. The descriptions and precepts found inside generally apply to vintage cars; in particular they are applicable to cars of the pre-WWII period.
The purpose of this comprehensive book is to enable the amateur to restore their car to its original or “Show Model” condition. The reader is advised on the choice of a car to restore, its dismantling, the treatment of the frame, suspension, steering, axles, brakes and wheels, and on the rebuilding of the engine and gear box. There are also chapters devoted to the fuel system, controls and instruments, electrical equipment and wiring, the body frame and covering, body painting, coach trimming, special finishes and the garage and workshop. All of the illustrations, working drawings, diagrams and photographs have been specially prepared.
The Restoration of Antique and Classic Cars was originally published in the United Kingdom in 1958 under the title The Restoration of Vintage and Thoroughbred Cars. Today, Wheatley and Morgan’s book, along with its companion volume Antique & Classic Cars: Their Maintenance and Operation is justifiably considered to be a classic and informative description of the work involved in overhauling and restoring antique and pre-war British cars.
A celebration of our love affair with the car, from the humble Citroen 2CV to the sleek Mercedes 300 SL Roadster, with owners’ stories and vehicle notes
Forty two vehicles from around the world are featured in this gem for vintage car and retro design enthusiasts, including the small but perfectly formed Fiat 500, the Bavarian Goggomobil, Willys WW2 Jeep, the Plymouth Belvedere with its extraordinary trademark wings, the popular and trustworthy Morris Minor, and the Mini, the design success of the 1960s. Cars are frequently an expression of their owners’ personalities, and the wealth of examples and owners’ stories included here are testament to this. The book also includes details of extraordinary journeys, some short and some long, that some of these cars have made—London to Mexico and 2,000-mile round trips to Italy, along with heartwarming stories of how a car has become a priceless part of the family. The photography focuses on the design specifics which have earned these cars the label “classic,” while the owners’ stories and accompanying vehicle notes, which explain the influence of car design on the wider design community, offer interesting insights as well as inspiration to the design conscious. It is guaranteed to leave the reader contemplating the joys of embarking on a road trip in any one of the iconic cars featured.
