Probably 1000 pages and it's just the angle.

It might be thin but with a sleeve with a load of CD’s in there for all the schematic drawing for all we know. At least stuff is trickling through, I will be honest, in typical bloke fashion, I never read the manual…as they say ARTFM.

I am hoping to see an update very soon with Steve standing next to a blacky silky sheet that looks like it has an IG underneath and a new owner standing next to it holding some keys and an extremely thin looking owners manual.

CD's?????

Fantastic job, and thank you for shairing, really much appreciated.

Im guessing but does this mean deliveries to customers are inching forward ?

on page 37 that deals with drivers foot pedals there is a huge bump that stops the manual being closed properly

As a forum, everybody here knows everything about the Grenadier.

So maybe it is thin because it just contains a printout of this forum on microfiches.

I've been back and checked and it does fit in the glove box. Here are some more pictures to scan through.

I would say, apart from it being hardback and not sofrback then it looks about average as an owners manual for size, page count etc.

Like some of the little pics, looks like IA are trying their best to make it that bit different from the vanilla cars and ancillaries dished out by most manufacturers…..fair play

Brilliant thank you. I like the hand writing and drawings. A really nice touch. It feels like we are getting closer to receiving our vehicles. Exciting

Thanks so much @Halliwell Jones Chester Hopefully on on-line version will pop up soon! I'd hate to have you scan page-by-page

Thanks Steve,
Just shows how the original camera shot can mislead.

Hard cover is consistent with the brand they are trying to build. Nice.

Now we just need a pdf version.

I like the fact that the vehicle was in 3rd gear manual doing 58mph at 4,000 rpm when the pictures were taken

Those things you sometimes see hanging from rearview mirrors in certain urban areas. They were replaced by USB "thumb" drives a few decades ago.

@Halliwell Jones Chester Thank you so very much for the scans. I can't wait to see the entire thing in my hands! I love how they've made the first pages like a scrapbook.

I will take another picture when I get chance, didn't feel that thin to be honest so maybe the camera playing tricks.

And something to scale it against
