Hello,

In the instructions of set 8671 (Racers - Ferrari F430 Spider 1:17) it says
there are buildinginstrucions of an alternative model to be found on
http://www.LEGO.com/racers. Alas these instructions were removed.
The topic of missing or removal of official building instructions online came up
at LEGOWORLD this year but lucky me: I got the PDF of the instructions from LEGO
of the model afterall.
I have recreated the model in LDraw and made my own instructions using LPub.
Featured on binarybricks.nl is an unique flipbook version of these instructions.
Enjoy!

Not to take away from Jaco's work (which is most impressive), but the original
can be gotten from:

http://cache.lego.com/downloads/racers/8671_b.pdf

For those who want to compare before and after, perhaps?  :)

Thanks Joshua. How did you find out the link to that?

I hunted down the old LEGO racers site on the web archive (www.archive.org), and
found it there, and then deciphered what the old link must have been when it was
"available" from www.LEGO.com, and found that the file is still available and in
the same place, there's just no link to it from the racers site any longer.
