Does anyone have a real or reproduction of a Porsche Speedster Owners Manual? I was wondering if you did, if you would be interested in scanning it, then sending it to me on cd or email, ftp. I priced a reproduction one for $120 bucks and really didn't want to spend that. I'd be willing to pay for the service and shipping... (with in reason)

Thanks,

Jamie

I had a parallel thought a few years ago and ended up creating my own speedster manual. I started by buying and reading one of the Beetle manuals. Using Microssoft Word I re-created each applicable section, in the same sequence. Each section now contains pages of information specific only to MY speedster. Technical speedster specs were gathered from many sources, including this website Thank you George Brown), magazines, dozen's of internetlinks, and so forth. Again, specific only to MY speedster. So my manual exactly parallels the shop manual. In my case it was further complicated by a type four engine. Four years later, I still update it occassionally. It has become large enough to fit in a two inch thick three ring binder. Memory is tricky, this way it commits "lessons learned" to paper.
Yes, not a bad idea. I too keep a log for each of my vehicles I have owned and provide them to the next owner on selling. I keep everything from oil changes, personal accessories, all maintenance, and photos of before and after, tricks I've learned... etc.

I do like the idea of making a driver
Jamie- Have you contacted Robert Raucher about an owner's manual? I'd like to get one as well.

How are the parts decided on these cars? If we need anything as far as engine parts, do we buy parts for what the car is registered as, which would be the # from the pan correct, in my case a 1968 VW 1776cc?

Also, as far as any other parts, such as light bulbs, fuses, electrical, etc.? Do we use 1957 Porsche Speedster parts?
