Cool Look - Rally Cars by Reinhard Klein

Got hold of a mint copy of Rally Cars by Reinhard Klein. It was in the 'scrap stuff to take away' box at work!

Rally Cars: Reinhard Klein: Amazon.co.uk: Books=

RALLY CARS BY REINHARD KLEIN on eBay, also, Rally, Motor Sport Memorabilia, Sports Memorabilia (end time 11-Dec-08 15:22:07 GMT)

Didn't realise at the time it was quite such a rare collectible!! I just thought it was a really nice book and too good to see thrown away. And it is - it's a beauty.

It should make a rather nice Christmas present for some lucky rally enthusiast. So before I auction it does anybody from this forum want to make me an offer for it? Best offer over £425.00 accepted.

Yep, that's the fella. It doesn't really come across in photographs quite what a big chunky and gorgeous thing it actually is.

Judging by the asking prices for copies it must be pretty rare (though maybe less so among a group such as Subaru enthusiasts). I guess it proves I am offering it to the right demographic.

I won't ask what you guys paid for yours....

You can ask...

I bought it when it came out and it was a complete bargain.

It cost me a massive £19.99

and I still have the Amazon receipt

Tatty copies would be cheaper. But there are links to two completely independent book traders there and they both value mint copies at £430/450

I know who's advice I would choose.

Looks like a good book to have, but out of my class financially I am afraid.

I've got that book too. I've also got Klein's recently published Group B book (there is also a yet more detailed one in the making). Because of my R5 Turbo 2 ownership I also have 3 books related to that car, one of which is signed by works Renault 5 Turbo two-times Monte Carlo winner Jean Ragnotti. I hear that these can go for silly money too, so when I need a few bob, I'll stick them on E-Bay and see what happens.
