Hi Mike,
The vehicle in question was featured as a centre spread in the UK boys
weekly comic called Eagle which was then published by the Hulton Press. The
centre spreads were perspective cutaway drawings with a numbered key to the
important parts with further information in the write up.
It is quite feasible to locate and copy this centre spread. I cannot recall
even the year so sorry I cannot be more help.
Best regards from David Gudmunsen
