Hey Jerry:
I own several GTs, among which is a '67 with LH o/d.
I sought a British car calendar several years ago, but to my dismay,
discovered that no one made such an animal! Our local club The Chico
Area British Car Club has talked about making a professional calendar,
featuring British only cars and then selling them to other clubs and
vendors like Moss, VB and TRF.
The trouble is that the costs quickly rise when considering such a
project. But the costs do come down when volume orders are placed. I
guess that a project of this magnitude would take about 6-8 months of
volunteer time to put together. But it is a project that seems like it
would be well received.
If you or others have professional photos of British cars that you would
like to have published, please send your color photo (with negative) and
a BRIEF narrative of the car/owner to:
Jim Boyd
Chico Area British Car Club
4021 Neal Road
Paradise, CA USA 95969-5773
Please realize thatfull credit for the photo and owner will be given.
We are not in the position to purchase photos and only photos that come
with a SASe will be returned. We are looking at doing an 18 month
calendar, so plenty of photos are needed! Let's see what happens!
Cheers,
Jim Boyd
