£200 !! where was that, I want to sell mine! Dave :hyper: :hyper:

Absolutely Fantastic Book! IMHO

must agree its good to read how they stuffed the 944 :D and the 928 :hurl:

I got mine through Amazon.co.uk, cost only £9.95, but that was a couple of years ago now. Just done a search on the net, and the best UK price I could find was £169.95!!! :shock:

 

It's a good book, but as it was writen in 1990, it doesn't cover anything other than the first of series one (along with the development). There is loads of informative stuff in there, and I'm glad I got mine when I did, but it certainly isn't worth well over £100! After all you can buy 'Nissan 300zx 350z: The Z-Car Story ' for only £24.49 (inc P&P), and thats by the same author (Brian Long)

I thought I'd just add these details, incase anyone was interested..........
