Although the library have a lot of manuals some are copies, I have some original Dedra and Y10 Manuals including 4x4 and I'm tempted to bid, pity they didn't split the Fiat and Lancia Manuals, it would be nice to know if the 1 bidder so far is interested in the Fiat or Lancia or both.

See these sold for £56 with only 2 bids, I did send a message to the seller asking would he split the Lancia Manuals but he wasn't interested.
Anyone any idea who won them as I'd like to have a chat.

Yes, good idea in some ways but at least before you could see if the buyer wanted to sell what wasn't of interest to him with a job lot like this.
No doubt we'll see them all up for sale as individual lots with a big mark up >:(

At that price they could have been bought and then the Fiat ones sold on, although at that time Fiats and Lancias had a lot in common

problem was knowing how far they would run.

From what could be seen in the photos, those particular type of manuals are pretty worthless, even if you had a car to go with them. They are not manuals in the sense that thay actually help you in repairs, more so aids for Fiat workshops for diagonistics. Say for fitting a timing belt, they would largly suggest that you remove the old belt, and replace it with a new one, rather than give a step by step guide. The assumption is, is that as a Fiat technician, you'd already know how to do the job.
As regards diagnosis, they would give you fault codes, and rough suggestions as to how to remedy them.
We would have dozens of these gathering dust. Most info is on 'online' systems, only sourced by Dealerships.
Pre '93 manuals tended to give more information, but not a lot. Thery were also dependant on Dealerships updating the manuals with bullitins, which most were too lazy to bother with.
