Aprilia handbook – 1948
« on: 23 January, 2025, 12:29:27 PM »
This is an original Aprilia handbook, dated 1948 with supplementary English translation. Complete, but with grubby covers and loose binding, and added inscriptions. This is not my original book, which went with my Aprilia, it was acquired later and I’m not responsible! I see that people ask very high prices for these, but what is realistic? I’m open for offers before I put it on eBay.

I bought both on Ebay in the last couple of years, spending €130 in Italy for the full book and £30 in UK for the Lancia England translation. Condition of both was good, but they are fairly sought after and people do keep an eye open

I also have this LMC booklet "Maintaining an Aprilia", from 1994. I can include this, or offer it separately.

Neil, you could try phoning A Brookes, number given is VIG 8957!
