FS: Fiat 600/850 Books by John Edwards (JO-EL Engineering/Costa Mesa R&D)

Jeff Stich

True Classic
I have for sale a few different Fiat 600/850 & Abarth 750/850/1000-related books by the late John Edwards of JO/EL Engineering & Costa Mesa R&D (FiatNut) fame.

Fiat 850 Racers Handbook. This is the "Advanced Preview Copy" with 178 pages & all black-&-white photos (the later, more-expensive "normal" version had color photos). With Johns passing, this book is now out of print & there are no plans (by the family) to make reprints. SOLD

JO/EL Engineering Fiat/Abarth Products & Services Catalog. Vintage catalog showing various Fiat 600/850 & Abarth 750/850/1000 "hop-up" parts offered by Johns old "JO/EL Engineering" business in San Buenaventura, CA (before he later founded Costa Mesa R&D). 30+ pages of parts listings, various black-&-white photos/drawings & old price lists. Long out of print & rarely ever seen, a neat piece of period Fiat 600/850 literature. SOLD

Hi John:

I would like a copy of the JO/EL book if still available, do you accept PayPal?
