Anyone know anything about this book?

Post by craig001 »

Hi everybody,
I was given this book recently in return for a favour I did for a friend, I was wandering if anybody knows anything about it?
This copy is what I would consider to be extremely good condition, no tears or folds, (crappy picture doesn’t do it justice). I was actually reluctant to take it at first but he insisted!

It is tiny (iphone height & 1.5 iphones wide!), 104 pages and packed with loads of very useful technical information from engine and gearbox to axles and brakes, I assume it was given to Porsche technicians, and therefore I assume many were destroyed by oily fingers etc. I have already referred to mine quite a bit as I am in the throws of a mild engine and major gearbox rebuild. Don’t worry, I’m not using my iphone as a standard unit of measurement in that!!!
Does anybody know the value of one of these books in extremely good condition? I have absolutely no interest in selling it as it is so useful, I just want to make sure I haven’t gained too much from a friend, I may owe him quite a few beers!!

Thanks, Craig.

Oh well, and theres me thinking it was quite rare!! :lol:

mines a 1st edition in english dated March 31st 1971, so at least it an original version!

at £20 I would recommend it to anyone who likes a bit of spannering on their own cars!
