Great news on the manual. I will be ordering mine soon or maybe putting it ay the top of my Christmas present list.

IIRC, from an article in a mag a while ago, Haynes strip down and rebuild a car and take pics/draw diagrams as they go. They then sell the car once they've finished with it.

I wonder which car Haynes dismantled and reassembled to produce the 75/ZT book, and what's happened to it??

It was sold to the russians as a Lada Riva Convertible, AKA a skip

Rebuilt by the Chinese perhaps...?

Ah yes... Must be their first Lego kit. Do you think they sorted the pieces out into different coloured piles first?

Yes Mike but by then all us keen types will have bought it for £18.99, photo-copied the half a dozen useful pages and put it back on ebay as RARE
