Anybody got a review (or do a fly-leaf copy) of the book?

Saw you'd gone for it Gary, also saw a copy on www.abesbooks.com for $136 :shock: so looks like you're on to a bargain.

Cheers,
Ian

I bought mine in Bangkok when it just came out and I thought it was expensive already :shock:

Actually it all started from there... :-D

£40 seems to be the going rate on eBay. I paid over the odds - £40.10 and worth every penny.

Another copy of the "Bible" on ebay

Postby Briggsy » Mon 15.10.2007, 17:27

Unfortunately the seller knows exactly what he's got and is asking top dollar, (or pound, as it happens!), so not exactly a bargain, but it sounds like it's in good condition.

I got mine free when I bought the car.

I think this ebay seller's a chiseling git (especially when you add p&p). We'll see if anybody thinks it's a fair price.

ah well, as no-one else has bid yet, i'm assuming i'll be listed as 'bidder 1'.........












....right up until the last second when Monty will do another LEC-beating snipe :roll:

(like on Specys boot!)

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

I was going to bid on it myself, until I saw Daves name on it. (the boot lid)
Monty had already put a snipe bid in prior to Daves, but i'm sure he'll be along soon to defend himself :twisted:

How come nobody has bought the power steering pump at £20, now at £15??? :shock: (same seller)
£500 from Lotus!!!
I already have one btw.

They're like buses because here's another one!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lotus-Elan_W0QQit ... dZViewItem

A little bit battered so could be a bargain for someone.

And yet another!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LOTUS-ELAN-Book-b ... dZViewItem

It's fairly rare to see a copy of this book listed but three at the same time means there could be bargains to be had.

Happy bidding!
