Retro Car magazine and more serious matters.....

Thanks for the comments (on this Blog and other web forums). I'm proud of the article and pleased to see my cars featured of course!

There is much more to this though. We need to see the '7 featured in as many major circulation car magazines as we can, and in a positive way. The TR (and I believe general Triumph) community is enthusiastic, but small and somewhat introspective. There is no point in plugging the TR7/8 within the clubs that already appreciate the cars. We need to reach an audience that doesn't know how good these cars are/can be. And ideally a younger audience. Today 'Retro Car magazine', tomorrow Max Power??

Write to the mags and convince them to feature your cars. We need to do this to save the marque, or the approx 2,500 (representing a 10% survival rate!) UK cars will wane even further and before we know it the TR7 will just be a memory....

Retro Car magazine April issue

An excellent magazine focussing on 1970s and 80s modified classics. Especially so this month as they have featured my two TR7 V8s B)

I haven't scanned the article as I think you should buy the magazine (and they might not be too happy about us posting it!).

They did send a CD with the pictures taken on the day of the 'shoot though and I've posted some HERE for you. Please remember these are (c) Retro Car magazine though....
