Can anyone tell me if this original book from 2006 is still sought after? remember my wife paying a lot for it, my car is on ebay for sale and just wondering if it is worth throwing in with the sale to encourage bids on the car.

 

Abebooks list 8 used copies of the original 2006 first edition (all in the US) from $120 to $253 and 4 new copies (also all in the US) from $137 to $253.

I can't find any in the UK.

Asking prices look to have taken a hit since the second expanded edition was published in 2015.

Thanks Graham, maybe put it on a separate listing.

 

Amazon US appears to be selling it at under US$100...

BTW, what is so special about this hard-covered XK8 book by Nigel Thorley?

 

Nigel Thorley is a respected Jaguar author with many books to his credit. It was the definitive guide to the development of the XK8/XKR and regular issues with the early versions.

Once out of print, values began to rise sharply until the second (expanded) edition was published in 2015. Values have fallen siginficantly in recent moths but are still well beyond the original cover price.

My thought is that you would get more for them separately than together.
