Default How Rare Would This Owners Manual Be

There's printable PDF's on the internet, but is the original manual rare?

If its original and legit then i'd say it would be worth something definitely, reproductions mean nothing as they're not originals!

Lots if it's an original. Seen Cosworth supplements go for over £50 on gaybay.

does it have a car's factory build sheet in it? as these were made to go with individual cars and if it does would up the value of said car if the owner has it so theoretically find the car and sell to the owner

Yeah it’s completely original, can tell by the paper and print quality, I’d say it’s hardly been used and had the odd thumb though, sadly no the inside cover has no piece of paper of factory build, but it does have Owners Registration forms, 1st to 4th owner, all blank though (white, green, bluish, light blue paper colour) and a please address to Essex, at the back all the Note type pages are blank as well, and some pages telling you about Press Packs, After Sales News Letters.

Not bad I guess, defo something I'd like to keep though than and try and punt on for a few pennies, just wondering if there was just 200 actual original prints of this.

It sounds like you've got a spare one?

Nice piece though

I imagine 200 plus got printed but a large number of the cars never got finished and were dismantled for spares so this is probably meant for one of them
