Original Longstroke Brochure
« on: 07.08. 2014 05:22 »
I recently bought an original brochure for the very early A7, the one with the drop down centre stand.

Here is a scan for anyone interested.

Brian,

 That's fantastic, but not for "anyone interested" but "because everyone is interested". Thanks for, scanning. The condition of the brochure seems near perfect and the images are crisp, clear and fascinating. For example, you can even tell how to make the correct curly-Q in the fuel feed pipe. (Just something that caught my eye.)

Very nice, great to look at the construction and parts, very clear details in the scan (like the special sparkplug cabling and clips !)

 Thanks for the effort Brian.

 I know it's artist impression, but apart from the top sidecar lug a bit small, and seems the R/H plug (or both) must run WiFi or bluetooth or similar spark (both were invented in WW11, search Heddy Lamarhttp://womenrockscience.tumblr.com/post/51494142052/hedy-lamarr-military-contractor-inventor-of-wifi)
