Originals are generally in the $150-$250 range for both volumes, and 
since they're loose-leaf there's always the possibility that some pages 
or sections are missing. Bentley already offers reprints of the 
workshop manuals for Type 1 (1952-57, 1958-61. 1962-65) and Type 2 
(1950-1962, 1963-1967) which also retail for $109, so they're not 
likely to offer the Type 3 one for less. Yes it's a lot to pay but 
we're also talking about high quality large format 1200-page reprints. 
I think it's worth it, I'd buy one.
