AC Cobra Chassis Instruction Book on EBay U.S.
« on: May 29, 2013, 19:37:34 »
Below is a link to an EBay auction I just found with only about 8 hours left in the event anyone is interested.  AC Cobra owner's manual Chassis Instruction Book.  Current bid is to $250 as of this writing with 17 bids.  It calls for shipping only to the U.S.A. and U.S. bidders only.  If someone from overseas is interested, I would be willing to bid on it for you in hopes of winning it (there is no "Buy it Now" option).  If there is interest, please advise what your maximum bid for it is and I will go for it and try to get it and then ship it to you if I am the successful bidder.  You can reimburse me via Paypal for the cost of the book and shipping if you win the bid.

Was bid up to $405 and remains unsold with the reserve unmet.  21 bids total.  Wow.

Excuse me Mr. Bagshaw - I don't do 'reprints'. The very idea.... :)
   
   I brought mine from the (in)famous Charles Mortimer back "in the day" and he took me for all of £8.0s 0d. At the time, that represented darn near a weeks wage for a self-employed photographer. Happy days.

The very idea indeed! My 2 statements were totally unrelated, and I never casted nasturtiums on the authenticity of your works!

   *Actually, the serialisation of your original Cobra book in the KITCAR/Cobra Magazine might count as a reprint...LOL! [:o)]
