Out of stock, but follow the AbeBooks link.
A book every E30 enthusiast should own!
Ã‚£101.35 is pushing it a bit though!!!

The lowest price was Ã‚£9.67; far more reasonable, I think!

Does it mention anything about fitting the later Twin-Cam Six's, or V8's, by any chance?

Either way, I've just bought one. At Ã‚£12 posted to me, y'can't go wrong.

Tue Mar 25, 2008 5:37 pm

A few zoners appear in it's pages.

Tue Mar 25, 2008 5:39 pm

I really should buy this book, but as one of Andy's 'boys' I think I should get a discount

Sun Mar 30, 2008 10:33 pm

Just ordered 1 myself

Mon Mar 31, 2008 4:17 pm

From the original link, you can get to a site called abebooks.com. They have the restoration bible in stock, but delivery may take awhile seeing as it's a US site.

For those who are interested in buying, and don't mind waiting, here is the link: http://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/Searc ... ID=2687102 I ordered mine on the 17th and it still hasn't turned up! It should be here in the next day or so, hopefully.

Btw, I'm not affiliated with the author or these websites, just in case anyone was wondering.

Georgen ... need anything translating then just let me know!!
