So, if people draws inside a nice book, the value increases . . . I'll do my best to collect some more in one of mine

3x West covered, 1x Gulf covered, still looking for a Harrods covered

You two hoarders are probably the only reason the price is going up...

That's a pretty strong price, especially for a West Covered one. I don't think I paid that much combined for all the copies I owned!

Gulf covered GTR Cotton book for sale, oh and its brand new like the day it was printed in 1995. It lived in a bubble since then. PM if interested.

Hi folks,

I've been a long-time lurker but, after visiting the 73rd MM at Goodwood last weekend, have revived my interest in the F1, particularly the GTR.

So much so, in fact, that I've decided to purchase a book. My query is how much of DA is dedicated to the GTR programme? I'm unsure of whether to spend £100 (really the maximum I'd be prepared to pay for a book) on a copy of DA, or wait and see if I can snap up a copy of Michael Cotton's book on ebay for a similar price, as I saw happened not long ago (via a link on this thread). What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!

Not a lot of DA is focused on the GTR's, but trust me when I saw you may as well buy it for the read of the car that led to the GTR's and then the final pages on the GTR's. Its a great read

Then aim for GTR by Michael Cotton, that'll keep you entertained for hours!

Thanks for the swift reply! Do you know of any GTRs for sale at the moment?

The book or the car? If the car, then yes, at least 4 have been mentioned

If its the book, LMMike has one for sale, but its the rare GULF one so may command many £££'s

I meant the book, sorry, I should have said!

And ok, great, thanks. Out of interest, which cover is the cheapest?

[hurstg01]

The WEST cover is most widely seen, so could be thought of the 'cheapest'; next is the GULF, and finally the HARRODS cover is rarest
