In this month's Classic Cars magazine.. car comes out pretty well I think. Weird bunch of cars to test it against though.. which I thought as soon as I turned up for the shoot!

Funnily enough, I own a VX220 as well (now).. Another epic car!

Certainly an eclectic mix. I like the look of the alfa too but I bet its a high maintenance ownership prospect

Morris Minor convertible FTW! :wink: I used to own a 1961 Old English White one similar to the one pictured back in the early 1990s, but sold it to Canterbury Convertibles as it didn't really agree with our climate, and rough roads. :roll:

It was a lovely thing. Not my bag, but beautifully restored. Apart from mine and the VX220, the TVR gets my vote - always had a soft spot for the S-series.

If the Alpine had been a Tiger though..

The journo picks his favourite as the Alfa, and doesn't really rank the others, tbh. He seems to compare the E30 to the Moggy Minor (because they've got four seats!), the 944 to the TVR and the VX220, and then the Alfa, the MG and the Sunbeam get compared..

Quentin Willson, however, in his 'analysis' ranks the 944 as his favourite..

Anyone here knows or have knowledge how to get in contact with one of this magazines?!
I'd like to have my e30 m50 featured in one as a motivating reason not to sell it...
I'll start a new pub topic to get the abuse there! :D :D :D :D
