MG MG Y Type - Reprinted MG Y Manuals on eBay - at a huge mark up

Please be advised there is a seller on eBay selling reprinted MG Y workshop manuals for £28.75 a piece plus shipping.

These are Reprinted copies. This publication is actually still under copyright and the only people who have the rights to do this legally are the MG Octagon Car Club - their price is only £24.00 plus shipping.

To obtain a copy, contact Harry Crutchley at the MG Octagon Car Club http://www.mgoctagoncarclub.com/index.htm.

Interestingly, I have emailed these people three times in the past few weeks, to enquire if this Manual is an Original, a Reprint or a Photo Copy. So far they have declined to answer. I suggest you draw your own conclusions about the veracity of their trading policy.

Please note, for clarification purposes, Keith is of course referring to the veracity of the eBay trader and not the MG Octagon Car Club who are wholly reputable.

Rather interestingly, this same seller has re-listed these Y Type Manuals at the higher price of £30.19 plus £9.99 postage. Since my last post, I have emailed them twice to ask for clarification of the item on the auction and they have not replied. I wonder why?

I also see he is showing one for the YB too.

Keep us informed if you hear anything back Keith - somehow I dont think you will!
