Bricklin SV-1's : VIN 397 and VIN 378
In 1981 I went on a California Bricklin Owners meet to Palm Springs, California. Before I went, as I recall, I was contacted by someone who was interested in buying a 4 speed Bricklin. At the time, there was one for sale in Indian Wells, California. As I recall, Indian Wells, is located just outside of Palm Springs. During some spare time at the meet, I arranged to look at VIN 397 in Indian Wells, which was for sale. I looked over the car, took some photos, and sent them to the person who was interested in a 4 speed Bricklin. As I recall, he did not purchase the car. Sadly, I found out recently that VIN 397 had been parted out. Fortunately, I was able to locate the negatives of the Photos I took back in 1981, of VIN 397, which the images are on this page. So at least here are some photographic records of VIN 397.
