For Sale:- Variety of Car Building/ Designing/ Set-up/ Reference Books (x11!)

Hi All,

Once again I am trying to raise a few quid as money is v tight at the moment!
I have a variety of books for sale.
This post lists all the books that are (pretty much) Car/Motorsport related, whether they be building or setup or reference etc
(I will also be putting up another post soon with 26 Fictional Novels, mostly Stephen King and a variety of horror/crime/thriller authors)

I've weighed each of the books on the kitchen scales and then retrieved postage costs from the Post Office website, so all the costs are the actual cost plus a padded jiffy bag and that's all! If anyone wants more than one book, I'll get the combined postage price and you'll pay the exact sum plus a Jiffy (what I'm trying to say is that I'm not into making money on postage!)

All the postal quotes are for Recorded/Tracked/Insured 1st Class Delivery. If you want cheaper post like 2nd class recorded, then I'm more than happy to do so, but it only saves about 30pence so not really worth it! And if you don't want the recorded then that would save you 74pence. But with the postal service being what it is, I personally would rather they go insured and recorded etc...

I am also more than happy for people to collect from me, either from my home (Middlewich), my work (Winsford) or even Oulton Park, as I work just down the road and have to go relatively often for work or Track Days etc.

OK, with all that nonsense out of the way, here are the books!

Ben R. Rich, Leo Janos (Authors)

11. Race Car Chassis Design and Construction - SOLD TO SEABASS

Some of these books I will be very very sorry to see go from my bookcase. The Race Car Chassis D&C one I've had for 12 years and never read it, as I didn't want to break the spine, I know that sounds sad, but it has been out of print for years and years and I've seen it for sale for well over £100 in a variety of places!
The High Speed Low Cost, I will be gutted to sell as I only spoke to Allan a few weeks before he passed away and he was such a top guy.
The car setup books have given me lots of inspiration over the years and ideally I wouldn't ever sell anything but I can't afford the books that my wife and I would like to buy for my little boy Josef, so it's a case of having to do something for a better future etc...

All of the books are in perfect condition (apart from the Sierra manual which is very very used, and the Fireblade manual which is a little grubby on the wiring pages), in fact most of the books look unread, as I always tried to read them without bending the spine as I like to look after books magazines in this way! I know it sounds a bit sad, but everyone who buys will benefit from my wierdness!!!

Oh, and please please please NO PAYPAL unless it's absolutely necessary and you pay their stupid excessive charges!

Kind regards,

Steve
