S3 handbook/owners manual

[gregg959]

Hi all,

Please excuse my ignorance but I assume these cars were supplied new with some kind of owners handbook (that should live in the pouch beneath the ecu/fuse panel I guess), mine is missing.

I have a good history file with the car inc all MOTs from new but sadly the handbook (and therefore I guess service stamps) had been lost/destroyed during a previous owners unpleasant divorce I believe.

Are they available at all, or does anybody have a spare one they would be willing to sell?

Cheers

Gregg

P.S. now nearly a week into S ownership and still smiling!

Hi, welcome to the world of TVR. These hand books are rare I belive, one did come up for sale on Ebay a while ago and went for silly money. How many S owners do still have the original handbook?

I have an original S3 handbook in reasonable condition. I have been thinking about scanning the pages and letting other owners have a copy or access to the files. It won't happen for a few weeks though as I'm not going to take a scanner to the Alps!

I have mine, soon be 26 years old
I believe it's a first edition
But it has seen better days, and some wet ones as well, from the look of it.

How many weeks Tony?
Are you staying on to bag a few peaks, or are you hoping to delve deeply into the lore surrounding the Sherlock Holmes / Moriarty mystery?
Either way, don't forget your crampons!

Most of us are booked on the homeward ferry next Wednesday

It's a very kind offer by the way, I wonder if the TVRCC would be interested in obtaining a file of your scanned handbook to make available to other members.

Pretty sure I have a PDF version somewhere will take a look on the NAS when in the office.

I am staying an extra day in France, returning on Thursday and then going to Goodwood on the Friday. Some other things to attend to when I return home so I thought it better to under promise. If anyone at TVRCC wants to be 'Keeper of the Scans' I would be more than happy. Maybe they have a pristine copy in their archives?

I found my S2 pdf version..

Will host for a while here:

Thanks everyone,

Thanks for the PDF version, very handy, will now keep an eye out for a hard copy, though they appear to be as rare as r.h.s.

Weather is looking good for the next few days down here, will be nice to enjoy the car with the roof off for a change!

Cheers
