New handbook wallets

Proud owner · 3rd March 2018, 21:57

Just spotted these for sale on Ebay new, people may like one instead of the clear plastic ones introduced as part of Project Drive. Seller (unconnected to me) also has some nice handbooks that are new for sale too:

Just bought something very similar myself, albeit MG embossed in the pleather. It's a far tidier and more presentable way of storing all my receipts and bits of paper for the car than in a punch pocket

This company, Henry Ling in Dorchester, was the printer for MGR handbooks etc.

They got left with a load of stock when MGR went bust.

A good spot, as it is all genuine NOS.

Are these so rare?
My both Johns came with the same

Do not know if they are rare, but I bought two of these some time ago, as they look nice. Not sure if the seller is the same, but I think I paid little less.

Thanks!

I have just bought one, I have to say the original see through plastic affair that comes with the Facelift is more than a little disappointing when you consider the cost of buying the 75 when new.

Wot he said. I bought one a couple of years back, nice OEM touch pity they don't have the Mk2 logo. Snip of a price really, nice people too.

Thank you for that very good spot!

I've just ordered one.
Moreover I'm very glad by chance it comes from... Dorchester, where my maternal line is coming from!

If they run out of the wallets they also sell jiffy bags!
