Les Archives du Collectionneur - repair manuals on classic cars
The French company ETAI provides technical documentation for numerous car manufacturers and suppliers to the automotive industry. Since 1946 it also publishes various professional magazines, including the Revue Technique Automobile.
Each issue of this technical publicatrion contains a complete maintenance and repair manual for a specific car type.
Especially for owners of vintage cars and classics, ETAI publishes the series "Les Archives du Collectionneur". These workshop manuals are based on documentation material that appeared in earlier editions of the Revue Technique Automobile. They provide information about history, model changes, adjustment data, debugging, maintenance and repair.
Since the acquisition by ETAI, some older publications of the "Revue Pratique de Technique Automobile" have been added to the series "Les Archives du Collectionneur".
