    R to RSR - John Starkey book

    Hi guys,

    was searching for a copy of the book as my father really wants a copy. Anyone willing to part with it, or know of one that is available would be really appreciated.

    Email me at alex@b-a-m.com.au

    Thanks

    Alex

    I have a copy but will be keeping it. They are running around $300.00 these days. I didn't know they were that much until I saw them for sale at the swap meet about a month ago. Hope you find one for a good price. -Scott

    what version are looking for?
    there are a number with very different prices

    Try Tony Johns in Mont Albert - you will probably have to call on a Saturday afternoon and then not on a weekend when there is historic racing. I can find the number if u don't have it

    I think I saw a copy of it on Tony's stand when we were down at phillip island
    - the edition with the pinky red RSR 3.0 that Bob Whymms used to own on the cover

    If he doesn't have a copy he may be able to find one for you
    his access to rare motoring books is fantastic - especially Porsche ones

    However IF he has a first edition I want it

    There is one on Amazon.co.uk now at £332.18!

    You may find the later edition "R to GT3R" easier to find

    on second thoughts seeing it is for your father why not go direct to Veloce Publishing in the UK and get a special leather bound version
    they seem to make them to order even though the ordinary version is listed as out of stock
    here is the link http://www.veloce.co.uk/shop/product...up=Motorsport&

    after all Stewart is worth such an extravagance and i don't think it would be a bad investment - but for that price 350 GBP you would want Starkey to put a hand written dedication in it

    thanks guys, they are hard to find. Can anyone clarify exactly which edition is the best to get, or even tell me which edition our S/RSR is in? The car is the yellow one that was at European Collectibles.

    Thanks for the 350 quid leather bound option Hugh! Helleva way to break the bank for a book!!

    Are you kidding me? When did these become so expensive? I guess like anything early 911 related, they were cheap 10 years ago. I guess I'd better go looking for mine to make sure it is safe!
