For a magazine article is was a fantastic spread. 8 pages IIRC. If you are looking for an in depth report on any particular model then it is obviously a bit thin on detail.

As a potted history of the marque it is fine, and reminding the greater motoring enthusiast of the marques greatest hours as well as keeping the name in front of people - none of which is a bad thing, but if you spend a lot of time and / or money tracking an edition down you might be disappointed when you finally receive it if you are expecting more.

its here for 6 quid

It certainly was a good read. Well written article, that ended by confirming what we all knew in the first place to be the greatest car TVR ever built wink

Yep good article but I was quite shocked to read "Compared with the illustrious Griffith, the T350 and Tamora look neat and compact rather jaw-droppingly gorgeous" confused

Now we all know the Griff's a beaut but I have several hundred people who've stopped me the last 18 months and a very biased owner (me) who would disagree with that just a bit smile

No real surprise though from a classic car mag eh.....

To the OP - You can get a copy here http://shop.instant-shop.com/Octaneshop/category20...
