Excellent job Ben but I did find pages 8 and 9 difficult to read, I might just need a trip to spec savers though lol.

Great mag again :thumbup: nice little read about the idea of a Marina Vanden Plas. Always been interested in that one. It would have been one heck of a car I reckon! Anyone thought of building one from Allegro parts?

Just wanted to say - great work on the mag, I am a member of a few diffeant clubs and to be honest half the time it's a quick flit through and then file away but I couldnt put this issue down - read from cover to cover. Well done.
If I ever progress with mine i'll write you an article...
