Here is a newspaper/magazine article from the Royal Auto Journal, August 1956. The usual great launch pics, and a not too common review of the changes made to the 'NEW' FE. I have left the pic a bit big so that you may have a chance to read the text. May take a while to load.



Regards
Alex

Hey Graham.
I'd be happy to help you out. Do you have them scanned? If you need me to do that for you, just bring 'em to the next meeting and I will take them home and do it. Might sneak them down to the photolab whilst I have 'em and make my own copies...... Lips sealed....ooops!...did I type that...

Did anyone else see the original pics on ebay recently. I bid, but missed out.

The other pic from eBay.
Both were taken at Southern Motors. 1956 and 1959.
Does anyone know the person who bought them?

I saw those, but forgot to go back and bid on them. Those pix plus a few other FE pix from Southern Motors were on ebay about 12 to 18 months ago, back then the starting price was $25.00 from memory. Would of been nice to have but a bit rich I think....
