Having a clear out of old buggy related books & stuff & thought I'd offer them to you guys before sticking them on ebay,  plus I'd really like to shift the lot in one go,   here's the list >

The Fun Car Explosion by Peter Filby, a hard to find book from the 70's,  in really nice condition, there's one currently on ebay for £40.

VW Beetle Custom Handbook by Keith Seume, in nice condition, (buggies, Baja's & rails in it,  just looked on ebay & 1 going for £10.

VW Performance Handbook by Keith Seume, in nice condition, one currently on ebay for £32 S/H :o

Aircooled VW Engine Interchange Manual by Keith Seume mint,  one on ebay at the moment for £45 :o :o

Baja Bugs & Buggies by Jeff Hibbard, well read with a few pages missing at the beginning,  a brilliant book if you're into prepping buggies,  this is the off roaders bible in my opinion and just because it has a few pages missing I cant bring myself the throw it in the bin.         

Autobooks Beetle Workshop Manual, good condition.

Last but not least, Baja-Prepping VW Sedans & Dune Buggies by Bob Waar, you will be VERY lucky to find a copy of the 1970 book on ebay,  it features James Garner's buggy, and a type 2 van that took 3rd place at the Mexican 1000 in 68 amongst lots of other stuff.

Best offer over £60 for the lot,   

I also have a glove box map of Baja  by the automobile club of southern california incase after reading those books you get the urge to go there.

I will keep digging & see what else I can find, but if that lot is of interest for around £60 to ya then give me a call on 01945 430604 rather than PM'ing

OK Mat,  that's those 5 remaining books including the workshop manual for 15 quid & I'll get a price on the postage, unless we just call it 20 quid all in posted,  can't see it being any less due to the weight of 5 books.   

Thanks, that clears up the printed matter here ;-)(-;
