is it a mistake or are people really willing/stupid to pay that much?
(for a £ 100 I'd sell mine).
I take it is no longer in print?
On amazon there are 3, £125, £ 235 and £ 305

Mine's signed by Uncle Ron - how much is THAT worth?!
(on second thoughts, it could reduce the price...)

I have all the books

Am I missing something here?
The book doesn't give enough information to properly build the car, the chassis design is a bit wonky so you get bump-steer, the last chapter is
basically just "and now throw it all together".
£100??? You can get a built chassis for not much more than that....

Has someone hacked Amazon?
I can't believe that a 12 quid book is now worth over 300
