Selling my copy: Chassis #173 Limited Edition Driving Ambition

[cbulen]

I bought my copy directly from McLaren back in 2000 and I want to sell it.

It has its own chassis plate #173, which of course, there is no matching car. On the plus side, my copy has a fairly low number after the Owners' copies.

PM me please.

Have you any pics you care to share?

I am including everything I received with the book, including the shipping box, receipts from McLaren (showing I am the original owner), poster, the misc items the book came with, the engineering drawing (of the gearbox case), etc.

Please note that in the first photo of the chassis plate (located inside the front cover of the book), I NEVER removed the protective plastic stuck to the plate, so it looks funky because of this. The chassis plate is NOT scratched

shipping box (which is why it is dusty --its just a black cardboard box with foam inside).

I have been trying to find mention of recent price sold for this book on the internet, but so far, I have been unable to find anything.

Looks in good shape Postage if outside the US may be a tad steep though; most carriers offer 5kg max for 'decent' rates on printed products - above 5kg the prices escalate quite severly

One sold about this time last year for $825 USD via a no reserve auction on Ebay. It's mentioned in the very same FerrariChat thread where you posted notice of the sale in case you missed it. That's the last one I have seen offered publicly - they don't come around very often. At the time I thought that price seemed low, but I don't know how else you could put a value on it with more accuracy than that.

Bit off topic I know but has anyone ever scanned the drawing of the gearbox casing into pdf format or similar? Or any other F1 drawings for that matter.

It's massive, a1 or bigger. I tried taking photos of segments of it and passing it on to someone to try to 'piece' it together but I am not sure how succesful they were?

I'm looking for $1000 or better.

Any takers before I put it on eBay?
