Sprint Press Pack

[LenHughes EPX347L]

Can one of the really sad senior anoraks tell me what were the negative numbers on the B&W photos dated 19June 1973 that were included in the original BL Sprint Press Pack?<br>
<br>
There were 6 photos in the pack but a further 16 were available to order.<br>
<br>
Simple eh?<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :hat --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Len, I have a couple of jpegs from some of these negatives. There are a couple of shots of the car numbered 229655 and 229653. There's a shot of the engine bay numbered 229652 and one of the interior but I can't make out the number on that one. Hope this helps.

Hi Carl,<br>
<br>
Thanks for that, thats 3 confirmed. The interior one should be 229651. I'm just being a suspicious old git really, there are 21 photos dated 19th June 1973. I just wanted to verify that the 6 in the pack I got at the NEC were the right numbers. There's a bit in Triumph World about them in this issue as well.<br>
<br>
Regards to you and the Boss.<br>

Well Len.. looks like the set is complete judging by the above. The only think missing from my pack are the original six photos, of which I have four as photocopies thanks to Midlands museum..curators of VA1.<br>
<br>
I wonder if the photos you have are from my pack... grrrr. Take care mate and will see you next year with 124<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Hi Paul,<br>
<br>
The pack I got from Pooks Books at the NEC looks complete; there is an additional item that was not part of the pack but it has all the travel and accommodation schedules for the launch event at Geneva plus a recall notice for the 1500's and 1850's.<br>
<br>
If you like I can do hi-res scans of the photos and bang them on a CD for you, the resulting prints would be better than photocopies. Drop me an email with your details if you want them, address on my profile.<br>
<br>
How far away is 124 from being ready?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
