You could be forgiven for thinking that the days of home-built specials are well and truly over, but as Ant Anstead proved in his TV show Ant Anstead – Master Mechanic, that’s not quite true. Admittedly, the resources at his disposal weren’t exactly average, but he showed that it is possible to build a one-off car with the right skills and tools.
The whole exercise has now been documented in a book, called Building a Special which is newly published by Haynes. There’s a slight irony there in that Ant’s inspiration for building his Alfa Romeo Grand Prix car-inspired one-off came from John Haynes’ original booklet which he published while still at school. In fact, his handiwork goes back much further as when he was 13 Ant read Haynes’ book and the result was a go-kart built using chipboard, pram wheels and an old lawn mower engine.
Ant’s new book costs £25 although you can pick it up cheaper online of course – or you could just win one of the five copies that we have to give away. Answer this simple question to be entered into the prize draw.
This competition is now closed for enties.
