OK odd one here. I have a genuine Jaguar factory workshop manual for the 2.4, 3.4 & 3.8L Mk II’s. This is not an aftermarket print, but an original Jag version as used and sold by the dealers. Any idea where and how to go about selling it? Here are some pics, I’ll get higher res ones tonight, I took them on my wife’s phone and sent them to myself with too much compression so I’ll re-upload later.

Thoughts?

A Jag message board?

PM Mguar? I imagine he'd be incredibly excited to buy this as Jaguar is the best car manufacturer ever.

I wish I had a Jag MKII then I would have a reason to buy this (and also my favorite Jags of all time).

I would suggest either a Jag message board or Ebay.

I was figuring a jag message board, but how do I price it?

BTW I have it because my dad drove Mk II"s when I was around 10-15 and they were in the twilight one between beater and starting to appreciate. Man I wish I still had them :)

jag-lovers.org or jcna.com. I have no idea how to price it, save looking for sold ones on eBay or others priced in the classifieds on either of those sites.

eBay w/ a minimum set somewhere between what comparable example have sold for and what it takes to make you feel good about selling it.

Funnily enough I have the factory manuals from the 3.4L MK1 and 4.2L MK10 I rode in the back of as a child, as well as a Mk1 steering wheel+horn push, and an XK120 horn push dad had lying around.

Agh, the Jag forums are a mess, no luck identifying a start price as of yet.

eBay actually has an entire section for factory manuals. I'd start there myself and let the market decide.

Cool, added to my watch list, I will see how it goes.

How about you get about a hundred copies made and bound, sell the original for a premium price, then flood the market with copies?
