On display at Le Mans in 1967.

Now that is a cool photograph, even badged as a "Europe" as well. How on earth did you find that one ?

Off ebay. I buy anything I can find on the S1s. Most of it is posted on Jerry's site. I have everything from original sales literature and press releases to a German soft porn magazine with an S1 article.

Very cool. Great pic indeed.

I also scour Ebay for period articles and recently managed to get a copy of the magazine carrying the advert from which I bought my own car. Yes, I should have kept the original copy but back in those days I didn't have this hankering for collating such things and once read, magazines went in the bin. ::)
Anyway, I came across this and wondered have you seen (or got) this one on Ebay UK ? It sounds about the right date for a review on an early prototype or road-going S1.

OK, this has peaked my curiosity.

Which one? :FUNNY:

Yup, I have that magazine already. One of the first articles in Car on the Europa uses one of the earlier names being kicked around: the "Concorde". I just picked up:
- first press release for the roll out of the S2 (54) in England,
- press release for the "GS" Europa conversion
- Italian S2 and Seven brochure, and
- a newspaper proof of an S1 on display at a car show in November of 1967.
All soon(ish) to be up on Jerry's site.
The German "gentleman's" magazine is ER. A temporarily-available cover shot of an issue with an article on the S2 can be found here:

The issue I have is from '67 and is on the S1.
