Wrightpayne Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I bet Nifty (of this parish) will be interested - he has some lotii in various states of renovation. I've sent him a PM to draw attention...Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Piers300 Posted August 24, 2016 Author Area Representative Share Posted August 24, 2016 I think the TR7 manual maybe sold to Steve.These manuals sell at around £50 each, so I am asking £40 each plus post and packing.The Service manual for the Matchless 350 & 500 is a rare jem and in excellent condition. It belonged to my father. £30 plus post and packing. It was re-published in 1976 by Bruce Main-Smith Ltd.Piers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifty Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Sorry, I'm a much less frequent visitor to BC than I used to be.Thank you to Ian for bringing this to my attention.I would be interested in the Esprit manual assuming it is the service manual and not just parts and it covers S1 from 1977. I am considering embarking on a nuts and bolts rebuild of my S1 so will need a workshop manual. I'll also need to check what I already have but I'm fairly sure I haven't bought one yet.Cheers,Nifty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANGO7 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Hi,Can you please tell me what year and models does the Matchless Manual cover? (Presumably it is for G3 and G80 but is it long stroke or short stroke models)?Regards,Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Piers300 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Area Representative Share Posted September 14, 2016 Sorry for delay in responding:1) Nifty. It is the Workshop Manual (original - not a copy) for the Esprit - Lotus part number: A079TO3272 dated 1979 and I believe covers the S1 and S2. The hardback cover is blue and a bit grubby as it was in our company garage until given to me probably 27+ years ago, as I had a Lotus Europa Special. I left that company 25 years ago.2) Ian - I don't know anything about Matchless. The Service Series book is for 350 and 500 CC Heavyweight singles from 1939-1955. G80 and G3L ara mentioned + G3C and G80C and MOD 347 CC models. The book is published in 1976 by Bruce Main-Smith and is a re-published version of 1958 by Temple Press regardsPiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
