Hi Dave,
That would be good news!
Thanks for the information. Australia is also a no go according to my son.

Hi Yves,

No problem, glad to help, if you have any trouble just let me know. I guess that it's too expensive to ship to OZ?

It cost $80 to send the $49 book to Australia, a total of $129 USD. My copy is on it's way. The soft cover has just sold out leaving the Hard cover edition at $99 left in stock.

Gents:

We are in the process of shipping books to Darcy at MV Spares in Australia. They should have them by November so it will be local shipping.

Did I not see free shipping to uk if you buy 10? Talk to your friends, bite the bullet and buy a box.

That's only on the hardback copies that are a limited edition, not the soft cover, as far as I know. If it was the soft cover it would be well worth it.

Update:

We are in the process of shipping books to JMP so in addition to the free shipping option if you purchase 10, you will be able to soon buy them directly from Joe's.

Cheers!

Hi Patrick,

Will it be the soft cover or the hard cover that you will be shipping to JMP?

Dave - just the softcover.

The idea behind the hard cover was a limited edition that would serve as a nice keepsake for Mike and the rest of the folks who worked so hard to produce the book plus we wanted a fundraiser for the MVPA to help them continue to support the hobby. There were only 503 copies made and the only place to get one is from the MVPA.

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I knew that it was a limited edition. Just wondering if you had any idea of the time scale before JMP get the books? Should I pre order one with them?

The books should be on the way this week....so I would expect them to be in stock no later than Nov. 1. I am not sure if they have them up on the website quite yet, but they should very soon.

It's good to see what Willys' subcontractor did to the Willys design...HA!

It also helps the Willys guys see what the F parts look like so they can sell them to fund their restorations!

Cheers,
Peter
