Possibly Mick.

Part of the description says “Former Library book. Shows some signs of wear, and may have some markings on the inside”.
Perhaps it was borrowed from the library by Olivier on a visit to the UK and he has signed it.

Anyway just going to get my copy and sign it as “ex TOC Committee Member and ex Editor of Floating Power” and see if I can get a fiver for it!

Obviously the seller thought that he’d better charge for postage, rather than reducing his profit margin!

All your getting is the same exploded diagrams that are available freely on Fransen’s. CTA, Der Franzose etc. web site and the TA main site, so not that much of a bargain….

Now I have acquired a very clean original TA ’12 & 15′ workshop Manual, (May 1962 Reprint) in English

Wonder if I can convince someone it’s ‘Rare’ and get ‘loads a money’ for it 😈

I have a rare reproduction owners manual for French RHD cars printed in English. What’s that phrase you Brits use? “Could be worth a packet.” Well, is it? But, here’s something that actually looks like it might be worth buying, but the trouble is you have to read Belgican.
