The green jacket Adam pictures looks like a 550 PARTS book, an item I have been told does not exist. If there is such a thing, I would dearly love to acquire a copy. I want the information, no interest in it's "collectablity".

Gerry,

Definitely an RS60 owner's manual. Green cover was the English language version and white the was the German language version.

So going by the Euro conversion, that equates to several thousand dollars...

I love bring right, or Wright!

I have only seen drivers manuals without a jacket, with the typical red type color of many factory low volume documents. What Adam showed had the numerical dividers only used with parts books. I now believe that the jacket and dividers have nothing to do with each other, and there is no such thing as a 550 PARTS book. I remember Gerhardt Weitzmann looking through a hand written loose leaf book for part numbers.
