There seems to be a problem with their website page at the moment as it won't let you complete a delivery address.

I called their number 01858 438884 and a very helpful lady placed my order for one of the Collector Editions.

She said she had received quite a few calls to order this E type special edition recently.

Cheers,

Dave

seems i ordered mine just in time.

Forgot to say, advert states mag can also be purchased at WHSMITHS.
although i doubt that includes the collectors edition.

Ordered mine today. 10 days delivery.
As with others the web site didn't work but the guy on the phone was efficient and pleasant. Tried softly to sell me a subscription to magazine but no real pressure.

If it's only 200 copies I'm surprised they still have stock.

( now where do I buy a bigger bookcase ! )

Bought a copy at W H Smiths whilst waiting for a train. Not a particularly impressive body of work IMHO. Basically a re-hash of past Practical Classics articles as can be seen from the differing value estimates and restoration costs. "Quit smoking. That's ?2,200 a year - less than five years you could buy any of the cars featured"

Just to advise that there appears to be a delay in producing these Collectors Editions signed by Norman Dewis.

Having ordered mine on the 2nd October and still not received it, I have just phoned Bauer this morning and they confirm that there has been problem on this edition with pages missing and therefore they are correcting the problem and also including some extra information. This version already did state it would come with a "giant, double sided poster which features an exploded view of a specially sectioned car autopsy", so it will be interesting to see what this is like and anything else that is included.

According to Simon at Bauer, the revised corrected Collectors Editions will be mailed out next week from Monday the 2nd November and should be with people by the 9th November.

I did buy the "normal" Edition at W H Smiths and I agree it is a re-hash of previous articles and all magazines will date, but as I don't normally buy this magazine it still provided interesting reading and some period photos I had not seen. Just wanted to support the E type "brand" and yet another magazine/book to go in the collection.

Mine arrived today number 195.

Going to need another bookcase. Suggested to Mrs that the poster would look good on the bedroom wall. I was only 1/2 joking, guess the response

Mine arrived at last. number 244. a late number considering i ordered early. :?

I liked the foreword by the editor Danny Hopkins...

" Driving an E-type turns any journey into an event, every arrival into a moment
of note.
It really is a majestic machine in which to go motoring. You will be looked at and fingers will point your way. There will be spontaneous joy because the owners of those fingers will have had their day enhanced by your decision to use the most beautiful car ever made.
Nobody should have to pay for their petrol when they use an E-type, visit England should have a fund that pays you whenever you take one out, simply for the boost to national pride it provides. "

I seem to remember from the days he was on "popular classics" that Danny once had a red 2+2. he must have liked it!
