Not bad, quite a few errors though, I think they got confused between mark 2 Tigers and the Ken Miles prototype. Also the first half is more about the actual car which has a 289 engine not a 260 so makes strange reading.

Article on the AM Vantage has some good photos!

It's not worth the scanning time. Just another 'pot boiler' of the 'stuff in a V8' variety I'd hoped had been left behind by the written media.

Neither is it a 'road test' as claimed but simply a description of how the writer put his foot in it. Just an error splattered promo for the selling dealer.

Well spotted Dave, see it's in the rare red colour 8)

Joking apart, not bought the Classic Car Weekly for a long time, and it's actually quite a good allround read.
