Looking for a tvr sprint magazine

[HaydnTVR]

Recently found out on piece of paper within the cars history that it was featured in an old sprint magazine, it does say picture only but still would be nice to see what it was like.

The magazine I'm after is January 1988 which I believe to be issue 145 if I've worked back correctly. It will be on page 16.
If anyone has got this and could take picture from the page it would be appreciated.

Cheers

Looks like it is a white 390SE, registered C855AWY. I will scan it and post it shortly.

Hmm must of got my months mucked up so back to the drawing board I think.
Looking for a 350i fhc with reg b131odl.
Dont suppose you have the issues near this date?
The old magazines don't seem to have issue numbers so it's hard to calculate.

This is all I have next to (in print)

Bugger, so it isn't this then! I will see if I can work it out, trouble is they weren't numbered through the 1980s so I have just gone for January 1988.

Yeah I stuck it into excel and just went back to issue no145 using the numbers I already have and it came up with jan 1988 so I just guessed it was then. Unless they weren't by the month back then but not sure. Cheers for your help though mate I'm guessing it's around that month.

Hang on a second I've found it, that is the right picture it's just thats not my car at the front. Just seen in the history that the number plate was changed in 1991 and it used to be b599ybv.

Cheers for that mate so it is there.

Well done, thanks for solving that!
I had looked at the cars in the background but it didn't appear to be one of them. I have also just had a look at page 16 in all 1987 and 1988 issues and was getting confused! Numbering seems to have stopped at the end of 1982, but there were also some "Super Sprints" which came between ordinary "Sprint" issues, and in the near collapse of the club in early 1989 there were 4 issues which each spanned 2 months so trying to work out which issue is which number can be a pain. But I tried it from issue 73 and had also added it up to be January 1988 so knew you had to be close.

Yeah cheers for that just glad I found someone on here who knew and had lots of history about it. Not quite the picture I had hoped for but it's good to see what it was like and in the magazine.

Cheers for your help
