scored wyatt book
« on: January 20, 2006, 01:41:33 PM »
 8)

after being disgruntled about not being able to find the wyatt book, my amazon.com "wanted" posting paid off. I paid 75 bucks for a NEW copy. great photos, good tidbits about what changes occured in what year. nice breakdown of engine components. I would suggest a "must have" rating for the enthusiast, but it took me almost six months to find a copy.

one cool image in here was francoise hardy (probably best known in a secondary role in the 1966 James Garner movie Grand Prix) -- would make a great poster in the garage!

I'll post more images and tidbits as I explore the book ...

Nice find! You were lucky indeed. I saw one go for $75 on eBay about a year ago and I doubt it was new.

You've got to understand. After waiting 6 months and paying 75 bucks, he needs to boast a little with you wordly mortals that are not worth enough to have it...


...not me. I bought a new copy for... let me go and check, I always write down the price of all my books. 33 euro shipping included (Australia-Spain). Three years ago.

I bought that book toowhen it came out.....I forget when. As for that girl- I believe she was the young Ferrari driving Italian guys chick in the movie Grand Prix. I remember seeing that in the theatre. Bullit came out just a short time later if I remember correctly.
