Hello
Assistance requested
Back in 1996[ 07 October] I bought a limited edition of Doug Nye’s book COOPER CARS .My book is marked 312/500
The book was bought via what was then the John Cooper Garages in Worthing Sussex
I have no idea why I did not pick this up way back then but I believe the book should have been signed by Doug? It is not , I can’t find one anywhere!
If I can send this to you to pass on to Doug or to an address for him ,is it possible that he could sign the book please?
