Found this among my father's magazines. He doesn't have an Austin and not sure he ever did.

Anyone know if there is a market for these. Also got several manuals for other Austins

Hi there are quite a few on eBay, but you need to double check the publication number as some will be rarer than others. Price ranges from £9-£34.

Very nice, market is good for this type of thing (or it was at the auto jumble at the NEC classic show Nov 15)

I noticed on ebay a E-type V12 service manual are fetching between £45-80 depends on who is bidding.

List it on ebay with a reserve and see what happens?

I was given these not too long ago:-















Can't even find them on the internet in some instances. They make a lovely collection anyway.

Hey, great post Lowdrag! But you forgot to reply to the OP! So what do you think his Austin manual is worth?

Hoping to improve on the One Shilling and Sixpence.

Since the Austin 8 was not (and is not) a greatly loved car I cannot see that there is much market for a manual for it.
Comparison with those for the hugely popular Jaguars is irrelevant, I'd say, although there is an optimist on eBay who disagrees with me!
