1972;

The 1973 Book - a Review of the 1972 - 73 Season, as the cover states;
A Bigger Book and the cost had risen from 95c in 1972 to $2.00 - the original issues starting at 5/- [ 50c ] in the 1960's

Not an interesting back Cover.

The 1966 Edition was the only one where the Cover Photo extended to the back Cover.

In the Colour Centre Pages is this set of " Sports Cars " - 2 very well known NZ Specials and an Italian Exotic.

The 1961 Brochure for the Jaguar E Type as given to my Uncle at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1961.
It was an 8 page brochure with spiral binding [ as seen ] and photos of 3 versions of the car Coupe, Roadster, and Roadster with Hardtop.

Not for Sale - but happy to provide copies of scans for any owners out there.

Here are 3 of the pages. incl Cover.

Photo of the Coupe, as driven by Norman Dewis, Jaguar Test Driver to the Motor Show.
I understand the the central grille bar was fitted at the show

The Roadster.

Back when GT meant Grand Touring or " Gran Tourismo " - A car for Touring with style.

Would like to see any photos of the Car [ cars - was there a Roadster as photographed or just the Coupe ? ] at the Show.
