Since I get some queries for this manual from non French speaking persons, this subject would allow you to ask me all the questions you want

Regards

OK! here are some questions:
- In what language is the manual?
- Is it the 1977 Manuel de Réparation completed with technical bulletins?
- What does it cover - engine, bodywork, electricity, interior, colours etc?
- Does it come with a spare parts catalogue?
- Is it copies from original manuals? If so - what is the original?
- How many pages?
- Does it come in a paper version or on a CD?
- How much does it cost?
- Are you the seller?

Many questions, but you asked for it

Here some answers :
- In what language is the manual?
Currently this is only in French. One day I could decide to translate it but I'm affraid I'm lazy
- Is it the 1977 Manuel de Réparation completed with technical bulletins?
No. It's a complement to the original + 1977 manuals. I say also original because I was able to fin some never published documents dating of 1974
- What does it cover - engine, bodywork, electricity, interior, colours etc?
Everything.
However, the colors are only named by their brand name. Aiemac, also present on this forum is publishing a document with color pictures of each color, correct for each model and with the matching possible interior. Better to get both
- Does it come with a spare parts catalogue?
I don't think so
- Is it copies from original manuals? If so - what is the original?
These have never been published as a manual.
After the 1977 manual, Matra stopped to publish their manuals and only sent isolated technical sheets. They were hundreds of them, mixed with the others talbot or simca sheets and of course, of dupplicated numbers. We needed to get 5 different versions of these technical sheet to be complete. Each time, some of them were missing. It included technical sheets as late as 1982, or even some Rush Information, as they called that.
So everything is original Matra but never published as a whole
- How many pages?
300 in single face format
- Does it come in a paper version or on a CD?
I'm thinking to do a bundle of paper book + a searchable PDF CD
- How much does it cost?
The cost is not fixed yet. I don't want to print hundreds and have to stay with 9/10 of the books. But I'm thinking between 30 to 50 euros
- Are you the seller?
And also the stupid guy who spend months (really) to put this together as a book. ( this will not be photocopies, nor scanned pages but a real book, verified from A to Z.)

I am in for one copy. Let me know when it is ready!
