Just spotted a copy of Costin and Phipps must have book on ebay for only a tenner. I paid three times that about twenty years ago. The books pver 50 years old now, but still relevant for homebuilders today.

You can also easily find it in pdf form on the net

Thanks for the tip!

stevie - I paid the same, stumbled across an immaculate, plastic jacketed 1974 reprint in a seaside bookshop some years ago. I almost feel the need to read it wearing cotton gloves. My chassis design days have now gone, so I'll be interested to see what the Ebay market believes it's 'value' is.
