These are copies of Styling, Interior Engineering and Engineering Drawings from a file at the GM Technical centre relating to an S.O. 63 project car that was used as an engineering buck and subsequently re worked as a show car for the 62 London Motor Show. I suspect they may have been part of Chris Sale's bits and pieces as I may well have given him some copies- cannot remember that far back?
I have the originals and others, printed off on one of GM's giant cad copiers that were sent over directly from Jerry Palmer who was Design Chief in the 80's.
All the items listed on the drawings are unique parts that were actually hand produced by GM Styling. Some of the other S.O numbers annotated on the drawings reference the 63 4 Passenger Coupe and the original XP prototype 63 Coupe and Convertible.
Wow thanks for that great info. Can I ask what format the originals are? After I left school I started working life in a drawing office with my first job was tracing drawings that were close to 100 years old on thin plastic A1 & AO sheets that may have been called VELO? Was a long time ago
You overlaid a paper sheet on the plastic drawing sheet then ran it through some stinky chemicals to create the blue print. If you have electronic files I have a plotter and would happily run some copies off to interested people?
Chloe made several boxes of Chris Sales possessions available that I personally distributed to his north west region buddies and yes these were in the bundle. They were destined for the tip! Models, framed pictures, photo albums all sorts. I with maybe 20 other members attended Chris' memorial service and Chloe just happened to mention her car was loaded with his stuff and was going to the dump. Hang on right there we said thankfully.
I dedicated a bit of my study library to Chris with some models I kept. There was maybe 30 models all 1:18 scale mint in their original boxes.
