The 'E' Type Forum

I have been asked to sell this book on behalf of a lady relative, it is a USA produced workshop manual, drivers handbook and Special tuning manual all combined in one book. Total of over 400 pages covering all aspects of E type ownership. I have looked on Ebay and cannot find another for sale, (to get an idea of what its worth). So my "want" is can anyone give me a figure to list it as a "Buy it now" of do you think Auction would be better? TIA guys, cheers John.

Iv moved this from the wanted/sale as your just after value....photos would help...or just auction it and let the market decide as there is plenty of interest in E type stuff...Steve

Oops, Sorry, I thought you have two publications. The Bentley and an Orig Drivers Handbook. You only have the Bentleys I believe. My opinion on value for the what appears to be a well used Bentleys is-Not Much. Mine is on my shelf in the shop and sees regular use.

I see lots of both on the US Ebay in variious permutations of revision and editions.
Just go to Ebay. Look at the for sale listings and then go to the Advanced Filter and look at Sold Items. You will find both.
For Sale tells you "pie in the sky" price, Sold listings brings you back down to earth.

The Bentley manual is commonly available as a new publication and used. Very useful book.
Used they have sold on Ebay from between $9.99 and $89.98 US. I saw a number sales on the US ebay.

The drivers handbook are also numerous and sell between $25 to $102 for what appear to be different editions than your's. With a quick check I did not see yours. For sale prices run up into the $400s and here's an early 3.8 Non-Issured book that sold for $375. Someone HAD to have it!

I would say the earlier the better as far as value goes and I can't tell what model your's is for.

CONDITION is everything in this sort of thing.
Try your search again and you should find better guidance.

I have the Bentley in what looks to be about that shape and also an 3.8 manual myself.

Use these searches on EbayUK. Lots of listings show up. Sold listings is your price guideline

Appear they are cheaper in UK than in US

Thanks Layne, I'll let her know. Still cannot find any listed or completed on eBay UK, but a few on USA site. Just spent loads of time searching this site for the boot board templates, no luck so far, my computer skills are rubbish, best wishes, John.
