| 24 | Room with a vroooom - Offered a 150mph Lamborghini for the day, less imaginative magazines would take it to a track and see how fast it would go. But we prefer to use our feature cars realistically, so Mike Renaut took this Espada on a classic drive into the New Forest - where the speed limit is 40mph everywhere. Lamborghini Espada S3. | Features | 6 |
 |
| 32 | Special sevens - Racing stripped-down 1950s-style Austin specials need not cost a fortune. Greg Whitaker checks out three with tales to tell. | Features | 6 |
|
| 44 | Wild ’Goose Chase - Ivan Ostroff didn’t refuse the chance to try out two potent classic track cars, a TVR Griffith ’Mongoose’ and a far from standard Triumph TR4. Both are designed to get round most circuits and much more powerful machinery quicker than you might expect. But which was proved best? 1965 TVR Griffith 'Mongoose' v 1961 TR4 Racer. | Multi vehicle - Reviews | 5 |

|
| 70 | Fastest selling car in history - Intended as a car that would be all things to all people, the Ford Mustang became an overnight sales success and an icon to a generation. It also changed the meaning of the word ’sportscar’. Mike Renaut rides America’s ’wild horse’. | Features | 6 |

| 94 | Splinter group - Wood framed ’shooting brakes’ or Woodies were once a common sight, but are now extremely rare. Greg Whitaker investigates six cars that dare to be different. | Features | 6 |
|
| 102 | One classic’s just not enough - Rod Sawyer has had a life-long obsession with the famous octagon badge - and especially with the MG T-Types. But his latest project is something different, and something very rare. 1939 MG TA, 1953 MG TD, HRG 1100, 1939 HRG 1100. | Features | 4 |
|
| 108 | Buyers guide - The Lotus Elite was a piece of high-tech, avant garde design to take the brand upmarket. Today it can be cheap to buy, but expensive to own. Mark Robinson looks at the pitfalls. | Features | 6 |
