Original Handbooks

[carlo rossi]

Would it not be good that somewhere on this site you could look up a scanned version
of the original manual  booklet for that vehicle, before they are lost forever?
imagine being able to download a manual for your 45 year old Montreal or 1.2 ti sud
I suppose this is  a question  for the moderator

There are plenty of other organised sources....

yeh pretty good
but would it not be better to have a section on this site dedicated to original manuals
Im sure every one knows of one

What I'd really love to get is an original owners manual for my 81 GTV. (Clarification: I mean the owners handbook, not the workshop manual - I can make do with my Haines).

It would be great to read the adjectives describing the numerous mod-cons and latest creature comforts like ... um

[carlo rossi]

sorry thats exactly what I mean
I have a 1984? manual

[poohbah]

Sorry carlo, thought you were after a workshop manual.

You're very lucky to have an 84 handbook. Is it original to your car, or one you found later?

I like to have the original manuals too. Perhaps some of you 80's Alfa guys might be interested in some of my Alfetta stuff? Got an awesome unused 1986 Australian Service Coupon booklet too.

yes Poohbah original to the car
Im the 3rd owner and wait for it
ITs never had rust ( no bull)
Wouldnt it be great to able to download
original handbooks like the ones just posted
so you hit the button pick the one you want and presto
I think it would add a nice touch (not money) to any vehicle
and they are an interesting read
I remember a mate had a XJS and the handbook said for continueous speeds above
220km/h please add 5 psi to each tyre
doesnt sound like much but to an old OCD like me its gOld

I have one of those for sale if you like

[poohbah]

How much are you chasing David?

BTW - I love the 6 year anti corrosion warranty stated on Derek's service coupon booklet.

They may have been a bit optimistic!
