[Fot] Number of logbooks for your car

[Bob Bownes -Seiri]

Keep the old picture!  

The first time I went to tech my GP Spitfire for a vintage organization, they started hassling me about the fender flares.  

I pulled out the logbook, with it’s Kodak provided date in the border picture, pointed to the flares, pointed to the date, and we moved on.

Every  logbook entry through the 80’s complains about the picture used for the car was out of date- I think Bill Throop had fun with the tech inspectors, using a picture from the car’s first race, with full windshield and barely a roll bar; compared to the car as it sat with full flares and wild paint job....  “update the picture!!”  I’m sure Carl, you got a kick out of that too!

You may find that the 1971 logbook that you have is actually the 1st one that was issued for your car even though it was racing before then. You might want to check with someone who handles all the historical info for SVRA about when SCCA started issuing them.  SVRA has been super helpful to us and I would think they would know about that or where to direct you to learn more.

I'm missing the original one (1963, never a street car) through 1971. I'm guessing another 3 or 4 books used while the car was in it's prime.
