    I have had this in my collection for several years. It has a yellow front and back heavy paper cover held together by one long,two hole clip. The sub title is "revided edition-1976" and was printerd by FAF Motorcars, Inc ,3862 stephens court tucker ,ga 30084 [304]939-5464.All the interior pages are in good shape and the print format is of the period. The cover pages are also in good shape but show what can be considered typical signs of ware.I have been through the entire Google site on the 250 Lusso and can find no reference to this volume. From what I understand S.F. issued some generic manuals that covered the 250 SWB, 250 Lusso and 250 California together. This volume clearly is directed at the 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso exclusively as evidenced by, for example, the picture and description of the dashboard. My notes indicate I paid $45.00 for this in 2009. Anyone who might have more info and value on this please let me know. If you wish you can e-mail me at [email protected]. thanks tongascrew

    The factory produced only two 250 Owners Manuals. A manual for the inside plug cars and a 250 GTE manual. I believe you have an item produced by FAF as their attempt at a Lusso manual since the factory never made one. Lusso's came new with GTE Owners Manuals.

    You are correct. What I have is not a S F publication. However in a number of areas this volume appears to be directed towards the 250 Lusso exclusively and in ways not covered in the GTE manuals.Interior layout is very different and gear box and carboration details are different. I am sure if I spent more time There would be other areas of difference between the two models. tongascrew
