[deloreanernst@xxxx]

Dear List Members-

As some of you know, I'm working on editing, correcting, augmenting and 
updating the DeLorean manual series.

My immediate goal has been to build a technical library for the purpose of 
research. I've also have spoken with and have committments from five of the 
six leading DeLorean specialists and others who are willing to help as they 
have time, either proofreading or donating articles they have on hand. (One 
of the 5 wishes to remain anonymous out of concern for liability issues, 
which is why you never see him respond in the DML. I've already discussed 
that issue with my attorney.)

I've continued my quest for original DeLorean publications, since the quality 
of the widely available copies is often not too great. Perhaps there is 
someone out there who can help me with this- So far I have:

1. DeLorean World from the beginning, plus the separate reprint from the 
first two years of DW tech notes.*
2. An original 1981 manual with assorted papers
3. Photocopy of an original 1982 owners manual
4. Reprint 1982 owners manual 
5. Workshop manual and Parts manual (reprints) came with car
6. Technical Info Manual, original
7. Assorted original '81 Volvo repair manuals, including CO2 adjustment, 
CIS, etc.*
8. Assorted parts bulletins- original,. including unpublished material
9. Reprinted Service Bulletins 
10. Reprinted Tech Info Manual 
11. Original Bosch Fuel Injection Systems manual including '81*

*Of course, DW and the Bosch and Volvo manuals are still under valid 
copyrights and cannot be excerpted from unless permission is obtained, which 
is probably unlikely to be granted. I know better than to infringe on a 
copyright. They're interesting for background information, and would be very 
useful if permission to quote was granted. So far, I haven't asked. 

What you may be able to help me with is this: I need access to originals of 
the Workshop Manual, Parts Manual, Service Procedures Manual, Technical 
Owners Manual (NOT Tech. Info. Guide) and service bulletins. I realize the 
likelihood of finding anyone willing to sell or loan any of these items is 
slim. I also realize what they're worth. (Don't ask what I paid for the 
original items I have obtained... I don't want to think about it!) 
Nevertheless, if you can help with this, please contact me privately.

If I have to scour ebay for months trying to get the rest of these materials, 
it's going to take a lot longer! Maybe years. Any suggestions? Thanks!
