Shouldn't make more than £115.

Then again, it's eBay - anything's possible

All you need is two people who really want it, i.e. it's the last one that they need to complete the set.

So if you want a bargain let me know, if not I wll probably sell on eBay for double !!

Have you taken a decision yet regarding to who will be able to buy one of your LM books? I have sent you several pm's but never got any response...

Whilst we are on the subject of Le Mans Books, i was wondering how rare a 1984 Le mans 24 hour " Australian Assault " book is. I bought it in 1990 whilst travelling the country, and contains what i think is the official manual, but complimented with articles on 7 Aussies who were competing in the event, most notably the defending champion, Vern Schuppan, and an article entitled " The day i led le Mans " by Alan Jones. Lancia LC2 front row that year, so a personal favourite of mine.

This is the orange hardback with the Bob Jane 956 on the front? If so, it appears quite frequently on eBay, always as a 'rare' item, but in essence you can pick one up quite easily.

A good book and the 'number 1' on the cover suggests they contemplated a follow up, but the assualt only lasted one year!

LC2guy · 14 Jul 2005, 09:47 (Ref:1355272)

Thats the one. I will never part with it, but out of interest, what did it go for on ebay ?

jna · 14 Jul 2005, 09:55 (Ref:1355274)

I don't think I've seen one sell for more than £25, but others may have reached a higher figure.

LC2guy · 14 Jul 2005, 10:01 (Ref:1355277)

Thanks. I didn't think it was that rare, seeing as it was reduced and only cost $3 aussie dollars, and was still on sale 6 years after the race !!!!! Like many people, i could never part with my Le Mans books, or any other motor racing books for that matter.

fausto · 14 Jul 2005, 11:24 (Ref:1355321)

I remember I bought it at a very bargain price back in 1990 at the Libreria Dell'Autodromo at Monza.....

still have it with me, good product

Who is the author? I think I have the same book but with a different cover, one of the NewMan Porsches.

ensign14 · 14 Jul 2005, 14:47 (Ref:1355450)

Hope you can tell them apart...

ss_collins · 14 Jul 2005, 14:51 (Ref:1355452)

Not hard..

The opened one is well used and is sat in front of me - the unopened one is in a jiffy bag ready to send...

I might just watch it.......

I have one from 2004. Paul Truswell kindly gave it to me.

**Craig** · 16 Jul 2005, 09:31 (Ref:1356714)

I have the 96, 97, 00 and 03 media guides. If anyone's interested let me know as I may let them go?

P&P's a bit steep isn't it?

jna · 17 Jul 2005, 20:37 (Ref:1357403)

I'd have been disappointed if I was the seller:-

**Aysedasi** · 17 Jul 2005, 20:43 (Ref:1357405)

So at best estimates, at least £25 down?

Trouble is with Ebay, if you bung on a high reserve, not only do you pay through the nose for the listing, but you run the risk of putting people off. I wonder what would have happened had this guy put a £100 reserve on it? Would the chap who ultimately bought it for £90 have paid an extra tenner to get it - I suspect so.........

jna · 17 Jul 2005, 22:11 (Ref:1357458)

I think so as well. It would be interesting to know what it would have taken to outbid him.

I didn't buy the French editions when they were first issued, but bought them all a little while ago - at an average price of £29 each.

But then look at this:-

A bit over the top?

TimD · 17 Jul 2005, 23:07 (Ref:1357484)

In a word, yes!
