I am looking for the VW, All Engines 1200cc to 2300cc Performance Guide and Catalog written by Joel Rosen and edited by Stuart Yale. Also looking for the similar Datsun Performance Guide and Catalog. Potential trades available if you are interested. Please let me know what you have.
Thanks,
Marty

Is this the wrong crowd to talk Motion memorabilia with? Does anyone have or know anyone who has these books available? Please let me know what's out there. Thanks.

Sorry man. What you are looking for is just a little obscure. I never really had and interest or put a value on the small cars. Why are you asking for it? Anything interesting?

I have both of these books. I doubt I'd sell because frankly I've never seen others besides these.

Can I help out at all?

The Motion Mini stuff shows up from time to time, just keep watching. Some NOS Motion Mini decals popped up a year or so ago. Check the VW forum classified over at the samba.com as well.

Tommy, that's the name of the game with all things Motion, be patient!

I have an nos motion mini car decal, 3 original mini car photos, one original mini car slide negative, a original mini car nhra record application and the vw book and Datsun book. I only bought them because I like the obscure items most folk don't like.

Thanks for the replies. I am looking to add these two books to my collection. Being patient is definitely the name of the game. I was hoping someone had a copy of each they wanted to part with.
Dan, I wouldn't mind seeing some photos of your items and if you decide to part with them please let me know.
Tommy, I appreciate the vw forum info. I will check it out.
If anyone crosses any obscure Motion items please let me know.
Thanks,
Marty

I was going through some old stuff and ran across something which seems like what was being requested. Pics in a moment.

Paul,
I greatly appreciate you keeping me in mind. As Dan stated I already have the book. Please give Dan the opportunity to purchase yours. There is an older version I am looking for. This is why I love this forum.
Thanks,
Marty
