I would imagine the LAT archive at Haymarket publishing would have photos from the motor shows as hey'd have been covered for 'Motor' and other big publications of the day. Worth a try if you haven't already tried them.

You will need them when it comes to setting up the relays on those electric windows....they can be a bit of a nightmare!!

That's a beautiful car you've got there, I'd love to make a hatchback one day as I doubt I'll ever be lucky enough to find and original.
