Original 356C Drivers Manual
Does anyone know what an orignal 356C driver's manual is worth? The first page has the following dates and part numbers: W31 e June 1964 Edition Printed in Germany 10.64 GL.
It's in excellent condition with no missing or torn pages, just some light soil along the pages edges from occasional use.
Thanks.

Be aware that you can still buy new reprints of Drivers Manuals.
The reprints typically contain lower quality photographs. The binding is different from originals.
But if the information is what you are after, they are identical.
ORIGINAL Drivers Manuals are selling for north of $100-200 in excellent condition. There is also a German language version.
New Drivers Manuals can be ordered either from the 356 Registry Goodie Store or from your local Porsche dealership for about $70-80.
About a year ago, I wrote a tech article for the 356Talk forum Tech Info section. You can do a search on that forum and find it. It will allow you to definitely tell the difference between original and reprinted manuals.
