Spoiler alert!

MG A and an Austin 7 in Julys issue. Damn good so far :)

Plenty of 70s classics on display, though WARNING! serious suspension abuse, viewer discretion is advised :)

Enjoy!!

The caption in the mag of the chap who has the black Rover 2600 sd1 in the "readers cars", states V8 beside it, but I thought the V8s only came in the 3500cc form?

A quick flick through, it started life as a 2600 but has been upgraded to the V8. If I had a 2600, that's what I would do with it (or sell it and buy one with a factory v8).
