Damn, I don’t read much, but a Haynes manual on the MP4/4? Sign me tf up!

[u/stuntin102 → u/colin_staples]

i haven’t seen a copy of that book for less than $90 in many years. it’s very hard to come by and very desired in the racing community. one just sold on ebay for around $100.

[u/colin_staples → u/stuntin102]

One here for £25 on eBay uk, but who knows what it will sell for

This might be of help

Are you familiar with the simracing world at all? If not, might be a good place to look into. People have been putting this car into every sim available since the 90’s, if there’s any technical info around for free, it’s bound to be around there somewhere.

[u/Watching-Watches]

There are versions of the car made for 3d printing, they are probably not 100% accurate if you need that.

[u/schrodingers_spider → u/Watching-Watches]

There are versions of the car made for 3d printing, they are probably not 100% accurate if you need that.

Due to the age of the car and the manufacturing tolarances of the time, I suspect there aren't any 100% accurate models out there, unless someone has laser scanned the actual car with a high end LIDAR or something.

[u/Watching-Watches → u/schrodingers_spider]

Yes of course what I mean is that they might have changed some shapes to optimise the model for 3d printing

[u/schrodingers_spider → u/Watching-Watches]

Yes, that's a reasonable point as well. Thin stuctures like wings and rods don't tend to convert well to desktop 3D printing.

Reach out to Matthew Jeffries at https://www.instagram.com/car_profile_art?igsh=MW40NmVudGE4aDBiZw==. He’s one of the engineers who designed the MP4/4.

[u/dennisk928 → u/porcelainhamster]

He, of all people, would know about MP4/4 design drawings.

[u/ridingstone]

When i search for blueprints, i try to find the instruction manual of the plastic model. People scan them, and post them on forums.

[u/beerman_uk]

Grabcad has a few pretty good models on there
