If anyone still needs one of the last batch of books I can still help - I am contemplating getting some of the last copies hardbound

"High Speed, Low Cost: The Story of a 140MPH Mini Engined World Record Breaker and How to Build it" . Reviews - Book Description The 40th Year Anniversary of the Terrapin Racecar. This book is a compilation reprint of the 1969 & 1973 editions. Softbound with a new preface by Allan Staniforth & Publisher Robert Macknay. The book describes the construction of a single seater racing car that broke several world records in the 1960's & 1970's. Several of which still stand to this day.
From the Publisher
The original editions of this book are now so scarce that prices into 3 figures are now becoming common. During construction of my faithful copy of Allan's Terrapin MK1 racing car I have made many contacts and had numerous requests for a copy of the book. This has prompted me to collaborate with Allan to produce this reprint from my original copy ( which has unfortunately to be destroyed in the reprinting process). Additional information has been included from a later edition book provided by Allan.
Rob may be able to supply plans to anyone wishing to build a Terrapin, albeit that you may now wish to put a superbike engine in the rear these days.
