    65 Driver's Manual ID Help Needed

    In cleaning out stuff, I found this driver's manual Edition 1/65. The spiral binding was shot, so I added a new one. I know the covers are original, but suspect the pages inside are not because there is no color. What gets me is that the edges of the pages have turned a brownish color, implying they are not that new. Any guesses as to what I have here?

    John it looks legit to me but I don't have a '65. I've had early cars 356 and 9's that had this discoloring on the pages.

    Hello,
    Here are the same pages of the owner manual I have: Edition 1/65
    The fourth picture shows that the page has the left side in color.
    Note: this is the French version.

    Yes, it has foldout engine pages, and foldout schematic in color, but it does NOT have the colored pages that start each new section, they are in B&W. I'd like to post it for sale but do not want to misrepresent.
