Not me, I have the LeMans Ed already.

Bonkers - wonder why it didnt sell for a while, then all of a sudden 9 bids ?

Unless a new F1 owner wanted it to add to his car and was bidding against another?..

[hurstg01]

How many has he got?

I thought he told me 3, but maybe he meant 3 more in addition to the 1st one he listed.

I've just bought, and am waiting for it to be delivered, the Mclaren Technology Centre book. Having been shown round the building 4 years ago by a great employee who even remembered my name 2 years later at Goodwood's FoS when #01R was being shown alongside the chassis of the MP4-12C [hows THAT for customer service! ] it will be great to see the images in a book that are in my memory for ever more; from the wind tunnel to the clean clear work surfaces to the restaurant to the boardwalk to the new production line that wasn't built back then [hopefully its in there].

Does anyone know if this books differs depending on the year of publication? I've seen 2009 and bought a 2012 'edition'

I am considering selling my Limited Edition of Driving Ambition. Other hobbies have taken speed and I dont feel Im giving it the appreciation it deserves. Anyone interested in info can email me at prez1967 at hotmail.com

Greg, I have a Technology Centre book. Im unsure what year it was produced but can take pics of it for you should you want to compare.

[hurstg01]

I think the 2009 books have less content as the 2012 book I've got my hands on has all about the new production facility and others on eBay have different pictures in than what I have [I think...]

Good luck with the sale of your Ltd DA

Pff, the GTR book price isn't funny anymore

This is the one I already have, but I still want the other two

[hurstg01]

I saw that too - there was another quite recently for over 1000€.......

On a side note, I have just become aware of a great example of Michael Cottons GTR [WEST cover] coming to the market - anyone interested? PM me if you are
