1975 TR7 Launch Paperwork

Postby john 215 » 04 Sep 2011 10:02

Hi,

I bid and won on Fleabay a bunch of paperwork ( a total of 31 pages ) in a folder regarding the launch of our cars. Dated 8th of Jan 1975 and not to be released to the 20th of January. Gives all the spec of the 'new' car and the devolpment of it,the Speke factory including how they had motivated the work force yeah right [:p] One intresting part is they used there state of the art IBM computer to in a matter of minutes simulated a prodution run of 10,000 cars with no problems !!!

The listing was with a brochure as a secondary item, worth looking closely at items as comparec with similar items i have seen listed was a bargain, if you are sad about TR7's like me [:p]

Cheers John

Hi Roy,

No problem, not sure it was meant for the eyes of dealerships it has too much about Speke ect. They are origanly from the office of Richard Foster Public Relations. All the specifcation included are for N.A.S. TR7's and there are mentions of Dollar to Pound exchange rates ect.

All this for a lot less than 10% of the last dealer pack i saw on Fleabay [:D]

Cheers John

If you ever want to sell a copy of that,I'd buy onr,as I'd love to read it too[:)]
I have been buying brochures/pics/service bulletins/etc. on there for some time,though I just bought a new vehicle and had been trying to curtail my spending a bit[;)] Don't know why,but I find all of that stuff fascinating!
