Ive got a 79 manual in great condition. I have an 83 manual missing the front cover... I ve got a 85 GSL-SE manual... I doubt they are rare... Maybe the great coindition is kinda rare, but the fact you have one isnt rare at all.

If the 81 manual is rare, then I guess all of the 79-85 manuals are rare. They came with every car, so I guess it's safe to say that they aren't rare.

The question is are they rare now, have they been kept along with the service details.

Recently a Ferrari was broken into and among the items stolen was the owners manual/service log book. A mega bucks insurance claim was put in as the owner claimed the car wasworth much more with the service details,

Cars are almost always worth more with all the factory included goodies. If the car has everything that it rolled off the lot with, it typically means it was taken better care of than average.
