Are you're talking about printing the big service/workshop manual? I didnt think that was publicly available as free as the owners manual. It might not be legal to print off and sell like the owners manual.
What are people’s thoughts on the legality of printing the service book? It’s downloadable on the website for a small fee. Is it mine to do what I like with once downloaded?
I wouldn’t want to be blacklisted, mind you Lotus can’t communicate anything so I wouldnt know if I was.

Also to add this is not a commercial entity, it just brings the cost down of a print if you add on more to the initial order. There is nothing in it for me other than a manual.

I have just had a firm quote for the following:-
10x Workshop Manuals
A4 Hardback Gloss Cover
Ring Binder to allow them to lay flat
130GSM Inside colour pages

It works out including postage at the following rates:-

UK £65
USA $90

It’s a big book hence the prices but I think that is pretty competitive as there is no margin in those numbers.

If we can get a list of ten then I will action it. It’s at least a month from design, physical proof approval and then production.
I'm in.

I know what you are saying.
I will be buying the download as well anyway which I would hope would clear any legal side of things.

Service manual proof has been commissioned, as soon as I get my hands on that and double check all is ok we can order them in qty required.
Nothing for anybody to do at the moment, it’s just a waiting game.

Received mine yesterday, very happy with it, particularly as I could never get the pdf to display properly for very long. Thanks very much Martyn, and Mrs Martyn for despatching!

Awesome. I’m in for the user manual. Consider this #1. Anyone else interested?
#2 *raises hand*
I'm keen to get in on a user manual print run if one is happening, and the workshop manual too, please and thank you.
