Cees,
Can you tell us more about this work? Will it be purely technical or will you speak about restoration too?
And, most important of all, when will it be available? I am anxious to read it! Congratulations to do such a useful work!

Hi Alain - we will be picking up this task with the 25 or so volunteers who came forward some months ago, just as soon as the famous 40th anniversary poster is out (which will be in a few weeks, honestly :-))
It will be about just about everything Pagoda you can think of, however I don't think we will get into the more generic body, upholstery etc work that would typically be the major part of a full restoration. There are many very good books on those subjects available already. What this project is about is "arresting" and bringing together all of the knowledge that is so invaluable to all of us Pagoda enthusiasts, so we and the next owners can enjoy the car to the fullest. I hope that by the end of this year we will start seeing the publication of at least major portions of "The Manual".
