High speed low cost

Just to let anybody know that is thinking of building a terrapin, the book and plans are still available without having to pay silly flea bay costs, I've just ordered one for £30.00 inc p&p

Plans as well for that money or how much extra are they?

Bugger it, though - there goes my pension plan.

I believe Clare Staniforth manages them these days.
Brilliant book, mine was on permanent loan from the local library, to the point where it was easier to declare it as lost & pay the lost fine that pay the overdue ones!

I think the publisher, a member on here and his daughter have the rights to sell both the book and the plans.

Rob Mackay is the person you need to speak to - he published the book again. I have both the plans and the book - -the plans are a bit rich as its just an A3 photocopy for a lot of money.

Yes but this is out of print? Can't get it from mainstream sources.... So where can you get hold of it!

Seriously tempted to buy one even though I am not in a position to build one. Is it £30 for the book and more for the plans?.

Yup the book is £30 I'm not sure how much the plans are, as I already have them.
