Complete Original Workshop Manual 1969

[Cell]

My grandad was, and still is at the age of 94 a huge Lotus fan. Having owned several Elans, +2's and even a couple of Elite Turbos he still potters about with a spanner now and then. The family business was car repairs and petrol stations so no surprise he has a few gem items kicking about.

I recently gave me a Elan +2 Workshop manual which looks to be complete. It also has what appears to be some additional update pages, although the first page is missing. I was actually wondering if this is a rare beastie these days and if it would be worth me selling it ?

oh I've attached a picture

It's not a cherished family air-loom then?

You can still buy them new for ?45. They are about ?20 - ?25 used on Ebay.

No not family air loom, he said see if anyone wants this. I have plenty of old photos of me as a youngster back int he early 70's around the cars, owning a slightly soiled workshop manual.....it's ok i had my fill of growing up around cars to last me a life time

But thanks for the reply, you never know with these sort of things is people are always on the look out for original items, it even has that 60's smells about it I'll slap it up on ebay then see if anyone wants it.

No worries. Here's one if you want to copy the listing:

It's a must have if you have a +2 so there are lots out there. A better and rarer book is the 'Service Parts List' it looks like the Workshop Manual if you have one that would make more on Ebay.

Holy Christ on a bike, is it me?

Throw it in the skip; it's full of mistakes anyway.

When did you move, Pete?

[Jason1]

That must be why the postage is so high.

Nah, no H's in Essex

Pete, I'm waiting for someone (Richard?) to say "don't call me Shirley" but they all seem to be fighting it

Not sure how much longer I can resist
