I have acquired a Triumph 1800 Instruction Book (Five Shillings) for a 1948 car, fairly tatty, but all there, free to anyone who pays the postage.

Comes with a pull out lubrication cahrt, and a "the Motor Trader" supplement from Oct 1947 showing basic maintenance.

Cheers

Colin can I have it so I can scan it for my website. I will then past it on free after postage.  I have several old Triumph manuals etc on my website: http://vitessesteve.co.uk/Servicemanuals that have proved useful to owners of Bergerac era cars.

Good to hear it has a deserving home.

Always a shame to skip something like that.

Good news.  

The first batch of Motor Trader articles are now on my website: http://vitessesteve.co.uk/MotorTrader  . I revised several pages and added more items elsewhere on the site so may be worth hitting the refresh button to get the newest version.
