Greetings Astonheads, I'm looking for an old school Vantage (circa 1984) to take part in a shoot for an American car magazine. The idea is to pit it against the new model to see what the two cars share - apart from the name. I've got a press Vantage for a few days next week and am wondering if anyone here would like to be involved.

It's a painless experience and you'll get a DVD full of high resolution, professional photographs. Oh, and we'll come to you in order to keep the inconvenience to an absolute minimum.

I'm a freelance car magazine writer, by the way, just in case you're wondering.

Kind regards,

Kevin Hackett

Try the owners club: www.amoc.org. They'd love to help.

Oh, how about doing the different ages of V8: 2 valve mechanical fuel injection (like mine), 2 valve webebrs, 2 valve electronic fuel injection, 4 valve 5.3, 4 valve 6.3, 2 valve 7 litre and twin supercharged. That'll be a great article, and a great comparison. And throw in one of the raicng ones (like Bob searle's V8) anfd it'll be a whole book!

Hi, sorry for the delay in replying. It's for European Car magazine - published in California by Primedia.
