Re: Targa anyone?

["JOHN CLAYTON" <john.h.clayton@domain.elided>]

Mark,

I recently came across a photo of a Targa top in a 1992
SOC magazine.  The then Editor asked for more details but
so far I haven't come across them.

I'm currently up to Issue no.151 (April 1993) in my task 
of re-reading all 217 magazines selecting articles and snippets 
for the forthcoming SOC Technical Reprint book.

I'll have a go at scanning in the photo and let you know if I've
managed it successfully. (I'm very new to this scanning business)
I'll also look out for more details in later issues.

P.S. Don't worry Glenn; I won't send the photo file to the List!
