The Red Car

[mowog]

I have been looking for several years for a copy of the red car found one and its on its way the story line is the young man finds a wrecked T series in Colorado and rebuilds it to race are there any other MG related books out there that I might not know about

 

[Steve]

How much did you have to pay? Just interested. Paperback or hard cover?

 

[mowog]

the book is used hard cover and said to be in excellent condition $17.00 including shipping

 

[Steve]

You did well. I have heard of some changing hands at around $100.00. I found a paperback copy at a garage sale for 10c. Needless to say I bought it, I didn't even haggle!

It's funny how books affect our lives....I first read this book when in junior high school....It was my first introduction to MG's, and started a life-long love affair.

I recently bought a hard-back, first edition, fifth printing, for around $50. No book sleeve, but in really good condition.

Now, if I could only find a TC that I can afford. Never could quite swing one of those. Someday....

Regards,

John

Nial, did you ever find your copy?

 

[aeronca65t]

Honestly, Steve, I haven't looked for one (I can't find the one at home....probably lost in my last move).....but now that I've seen them e-Bay (thanks, guys!), I guess I'll have to start bidding.

Phil,
I just got a new hard cover copy of "The Red Car" from amazon.com for $29.00. Another great LBC read is "Press On Regardless". I also happen to like the Bert Levy trilogy. The first in the series, "The Last Open Road" is best (imho) but the last two are fun.
