You want History...OK...Pictured is the 1st prototype model 74 chassis w/ the Big valve.
Can you name the blokes in this shot ?
From left to Right:
Keith Loader-Manufacturing, Mike Kimberly-Project Manager, Oliver Winterbottom-Styling Manager,
Chris Denter-Engineering, John Freeman-Technician, Dennis Jewell-Technician, Roger Constable-Technician & Roger Becker Technician.
For those of us who treasure our version 3 series... but still admire the earlier 46 or 54 /65's.... These men made it happen!

I recognise Kimberly but that's about it. Keep 'em coming, I find the old photos interesting, real period pieces. (perhaps 'cos I'm an old period piece myself ?)

Very cool stuff, Lou. I'm loving these historic photos as well. I see there was still some styling tweaks left to go when this photo was taken. Very interesting.

I ran across a few old photos as well. These are from Fred Latus Jr.'s Album in the photo gallery.
Here is the link.
