Pitlane Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 In desperate need of a cook book approach to looking after my seven, having discovered the vast amount of stuff I just don't know about it, in terms of what goes where connecting to what, doing god knows. Apparently this books the dogs, anyone know a shoppe with it in stock, as it seems to be out of print. Alternatively any one with a spare copy they'd like to sell? Book details are Lotus Seven Restoration/Preparation/Maintenance by Tony Weale ISBN 1-85532-153-X thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Brother Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 Pitlane, I waited several weeks to get a copy from WH Smiths, only to be told it was out of print! Try Redline in Caterham, I ordered a copy on Wed afternoon and recieved it in the post on Thurs AM! Cost is around £23.00inc postage. How about that for service!

Super_Rich_Bernie Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 I went to Motorbooks a couple of weeks ago, who were out of stock, the guy there looked it up on his computer and said it was shown as being re-printed. I'm not sure if this is correct, or when. He told me to 'call again next month'and see. Since I came away with £60 of books i hadn't intended to buy this may have been a cunning ploy to get me back into his shop again. You could give them a call/mail and ask. its www.motorbooks.co.uk Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul jacobs Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Mike, Just had a thought, I suppose that you've tried Amazon? They seem to have just about everything - obvious I know, but worth a try if you haven't already done so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanteam Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Speaking as a librarian - have you tried your local library? I see they've got a copy in the British Library (http://www.bl.uk) which I'm sure they'd lend you while waiting for the reprint. regards Naomi Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 I live in Marseille in France and I have a 1990 sprint super seven. I am quite sure you could find the tony weale book at Edition du Palmier in France because I saw a few weeks ago there. They are specialized in motor books and they sale new and second hand books. Most of motor books are in English.(of course) You can find them : Phone : 00 33 4 66 23 37 50 Fax : 00 33 4 66 23 96 60 and : www.editions-palmier.fr I have this book and if I can help, you can reach me at www.bonzai.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Micallef Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 I also have the book so if there is anything specific anyone wants to know then I can photocopy the relevant pages for you. Needless to say that I wont be able to copy the whole book! Next Year I'll Own One teeth.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Whyman Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 Try "Chaters Motoring Books and Videos", they hold about 13.000 titles. Think they are in Uxbridge. Web Address www.chaters.co.uk. Happy Motoring. thumbsup.gif C7 WJW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitlane Posted June 17, 2001 Author Share Posted June 17, 2001 All sold out, Chaters, Redline etc etc Thanks for the offers of photocopies of various pages but I really need the whole book, as I know nothing!

PAUL MARRIOTT Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 Try the specialist second hand car book shop (aargh! can't remember the name!!) in Woburn, it had one last time I was in, or by Book and Magazine Collector Magazine from a ggod newsagent and get one of the specialist search services to find one for you - they will try to charge you a premium of about 100% though.

Taran Las Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 Pitlane, I have a spare copy. If you e-mail me at PhilDOwen@aol.com & make me an offer including postage, I'll dispatch it to you. Phil Owen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Crickmore Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 Phil, How much do you want for it? Doesn't it retail at 22 quid or thereabouts? Anthony, could you bring your copy along to the next meet please. I'm dying to have a look. Seeing as you haven't got a seven at the moment you don't really need it...........wink.gif K7ACT Lean, Mean, and Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven in SA Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 exclusivebooks.co.za reckon on about 4-6 weeks delivery. Unfortunatley it is a bit more expensive at ZAR 297-00 (GBP26.50) plus delivery. Not sure how much extra that is but if you are desperate it might help. Nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bafty Crastard Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 I think if or when you manage to track this book down it may will be more expensive than you think, I recently found a copy at Collectors Carbooks, it cost me £36.00 !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
