If you are willing to ship to NZ, we need the electrical one, some bastard borrowed ours and never returned. Will grab all three if it suits better. PM a cost you want for them including shipping and we can go from there?

How illegal would it be to scan these and produce a pdf file of the manuals for the use of other bx club members? Just wondering, not that anyone would consider doing something like that

Simple; breaching PSA's copyright laws. To be frank, normally you will be requested to remove the scans first before the legal heavies are sent in but, to be frank, is PSA really bothered about the BX now?

I could host the scans in Russia...

Russian copyright law? If you're going to copy it, copy it right

I may not even be necessary to host the files anywhere, although the resulting files may be huge, they could be emailed. They could alternatively be put on CD and posted to who ever wants a copy.

I can't see them kicking up a fuss about it unless the BX does reach DS status of a sought after classic car.

You know. You want to.
At least Scan them. Or print them. Keep them for your self. Then if someone. Wants one. Make a couple of bob.

Theres 3 primary volumes realeased possibly 5 times, then the several folders of 'technical bulletins' (which are more important than the primary volumes imho), i would doubt there are should of 10,000 sides to scan. Frankly, i'll just pick up the book as and when in need.

However there is a 'mechanical components 2' first release on ebay at the moment for those that have the will to scan the pages.
