The letters BV are missing from the plenum badge, so it can't be FFG's, can it?

Lovely pic though, anyone else remember the Eagle centre page illustrations?

Hi Chaps

I purchased one of these prints in 1992 from the TVRcc .There was a limited run of 850 ,and personally signed by Myles. My copy is No 26 and if agreeable with FFG i intend to donate it if there is a Charity Auction at the Growl this year.

Cheers

Sorry typed S but I meant M! Its a lovely line drawing of a 3000M, signed by John Bailie and Martin Lilley. Got it at the TVRCC event at the Lakeland Motor Museum last year.

I'd had one or two shandies that evening at the dinner and decided to go autograph hunting so mine is also signed by John Box, (the guy who project managed the 350i) and also Carol Newton (who was Martin Lilley and later Peter Wheelers secretary! ) Great fun, best TVRCC event I've been to.

It has pride of place in my office - car related pics banned from the house so have it at work with a load of signed rallying pics from the 80's. Unfortunately most of my visitors have never heard of Bjorn Waldegard, Jimmy McCrae or Stig Blomqvist rolleyes

I think he's happy to do prints to order, I emailed him on studio@mylestalbot.com

Have ordered 2 myself - will also be donating one to a charity auction later this year - be nice to get it signed by some of the factory team associated with the Griff - any suggestions/ contacts welcome.

Looking good, have one framed signed by PW
On the wall with 3000M cut away drawing signed by ML
& the Yellow Grantura cut away drawing from Motor signed by Trevor

So glad i got them to sign them back in the 90's

I suppose they could be worth a few notes, but never for sale, a real one off collection.

I made the earlier comment based on the VRM displayed not the plenum.
