I arranged for quality reproductions of this rare manual and they have just been completed.
This is a wonderful 36 page owners manual for the home market, in Japanese and full of great pictures.
I wanted this reproduction to turn out nice and the old dark half tone photos have been lightened
separately from the text and printed on heavy stock paper like the original.
The manual is identical size to the original with a full color cover on heavy paper.
Credit for this reproduction goes to
Ross at Sport Imports for providing the original owners manual he got in Japan years ago.
Jared, our 311s printer, for cleaning up the color cover.
Marymoor Press in Redmond WA for the reproduction and printing.
Ted, who provided the funds.
I want to gift this manual to my fellow 311s 3 seat 1500 owners.
Here is the plan.
If I will see you at the major roadster meets this year (Solvang, Kelowna,Shasta, Shedd) I will bring one for you.
If your not attending any if these meets (Shame!) send me your address and I will mail you one.
For those Canuck 3 seat 1500 owners, I will see you at the Kelowna meet and will bring them.
For our Netherlands friends, Richard can bring some back after his visit to the Shasta meet.
For our OZ/NZ owners. If any one from your countries is attending Solvang or Shasta, they can bring some back.
Or if someone can forward them I can mail them together.
If you are one of the unlucky 311s members without a 3 seat 1500 roadster and you want a copy
you can help pay for this gift to your more fortunate 311s 3 seat 1500 friends.
Send me $10 and I will mail you one.
I do have the digital files for the manual so I will send them for posting in the 311s WIKI section.
Here are a few sample pictures.
The roadster on the cover is out of focus on purpose. It is going FAST.
My favorite is of the girl in the third seat. You can imagine her thinking,
"I hope these jerks do not actually drive this thing as I am not feeling very safe or comfortable back here".
What looks like a shoulder seat belt is her purse strap.
Ted.
