Gary:

I was going to offer to you or others a copy of mine for my costs in 
reproducing it, on the theory that it was no longer available.  However, I 
find that you can buy it from:

http://www.ahspares.co.uk

The bugeye is $32. plus shipping and the Mark 2-4 is $35, plus shipping.  
Since the manual is European A size (not 8-1/2 x 11) it will need reducing, 
and then reproducing--worthwhile if it is one of the last good copies 
available.  In other words, you can buy a new one for less than I can make a 
copy of mine (greasestains and all) for you.  

By the way, you at least have a Mark II engine in the Bugeye, and there may 
be other modifications.  Looks like they left the original smoothcase 
transmission, and I personally would want to exchange it for something else 
unless you are planning to go back to strictly original and a 948 engine.  If 
Paul A. still has his Datsun 4 speeds, that might be a possibility, or a 5 
speed or ribcase would work well.  On the smoothcase, the gap between second 
and third is too great.  Here's Paul's address and he's a lister:

Good luck on the project.
