Hey everyone,

Some of you may remember me from many moons ago over on other forums and poking around here a bit. I built a MKII Roadster in 2002-03 and sold it in 2014. While I am still someone who's a huge fan of these cars, projects, and everything mechanical, I've also much enjoyed simplifying my life by purging projects and posessions. Things that I care about most have taken me longer to get rid of (like the Roadster).

My Dad was a great guy, and one of the many things he did to support hobbies of mine was to buy me plenty of books so that I could read and learn. Sometimes, he found a book he REALLY liked and got multiple copies so he could give them away someday to other folks who might like cars or Cobra replicas.

Anyhow, long story short, I have a pile of books now that just sit in a box and never get read. They remind me very much of my father, but it is time for them to go to another loving home.

Most of these are new or like new. Some are from England and were never available in the states. It would be extremely difficult for me to sell them individually, or find a place to donate them to who would actually appreciate them, so here's the deal: they will go to the highest bidder on here, but that $$ will go to non-political non-religious charity of your choice. I will match up to $200 and will ship them to you using USPS media mail. You must promise that you are not going to sell them for profit and will give any away that you don't want to other folks who will appreciate them. This is something my Dad would have loved for these books.

Feel free to post a question here or send me a message if there's anything you want to know. Also feel free to cross-post to other forums that you think might have interested people...just let me know if you do this!

Thanks!!
