This photo was also available as a large poster.
i have one framed, and one in a flat file.
These were available from Richard Kemp, many years ago.

I wouldn't.

I wonder too if that car is still around, where it is, what shape it's in, etc.

Interesting too how the picture really accentuates how long and tall Jimi was, and/or how small the car is! :mrgreen:

Of course, no scale model garage is complete without an Elan Hendrix poster. Can you spot it?

Maybe you should include this poster in your garage scene. Jimi and Mitch Mitchell tuning the twincam. :lol:

That’s a cool photo of Jimmy looking over the twin cam. Would be a conversation piece in anyone’s garage.
