Default Owner's Manual - Original or Re-Print How to tell?

How can one determine if an owner's manual is original or a re-print? Were they all printed in Germany?


Is this the real McCoy???

original or re-print?

Certainly looks original. By original do you mean a "First Edition"?
I am sure they still print them. They are still available with 8 sitting in Germany.

Looking at the Owners Manual you have a ROW 84 S2 twin dizzy car.
Is that correct?
The M&W is available for $68

No, that was just an example of one that I saw advertised........

I actually have a 1985 USA version.....Where can I get the M&W booklet for it?

I can get both the owners manual ($85) and the W&M book ($68) - both correct for your car.
Shoot me an email if you want them

8/83 means printed in August 1983, so obviously for the 1984 MY.
