Maltelec Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I would really like to know what mag this is so I can find a better copy of these 2 pages (i.e. so I can see the police land rover picture much better). A friend of mine said it looks like Motor mag ,week ending 3 Nov 1978. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyloud Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I don't think its Motor, more likely to be Autocar or possibly What car (judging by the fonts used) I can't give you a valid reason for that stab in the dark, but I do have most issues of 1970's motor magazine so could check when I go back to my folks. But I would loved to have been chased by that 2 litre Colt Sigma in my Carina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 It's one of the weeklies, so not What Car. I reckon MOTOR may be right. In fact I may have this mag somewhere in the loft - buried under another 1,000 I expect - as I remember reading the article in the last couple of years. It would take me ages to look through due to my haphazard storage and I can't be sure I still have the mag (probably sold it on eBay some time ago!), sorry.

Maltelec Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 What day does a week end on? I'm trying to work out if it is 1978 or 1979.According to Gaydon, my land rover left the factory on the 8th December 1978. I strongly suspect the one in the picture is the one built along side mine, meaning I would be suprised if the date of the mag is 1978. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kyle Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 It says either September or November 1979 in the corner if that helps to narrow it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I think it would be '79 rather than '78 too. I'm pretty sure Motor's "week ending" day was a Wednesday or Tuesday, rather than the Sunday or Friday you'd expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
