Letter of the month

’80S COUPÉ SHOWDOWN • What’s best, Ford’s extra cylinders, Renault’s turbo or Lancia’s blower?

Smaller, but perfectly formed • Carving a path through Cheddar Gorge in the Ferrari 328, Lotus Esprit Turbo and Lamborghini Jalpa reveals the irresistible rationale behind these 1980s junior supercars

RAPID DISPATCH HATCH • Transplanting a Ferrari heart into a mundane hatchback body? All in a day’s work for Franco Sbarro

Tour d’élégance • Few vehicles can match the glamour of Paris, but the Bugatti Type 57 Atalante is the perfect partner to take in the French capital by night

‘Thousands lining the circuit began rooting for “Miss Bugatti” as the gap between Junek and Campari narrowed’ • One of the first women to win a top-level motor race is today little more than a footnote in history. Step forward Czech motorsport pioneer Elisabeth Junek

A LIFE OF SERVICE • The restoration of AEC Regent 486 is a decades-long story of survival and, at times, near-despair. You wait ages for a bus… and this time it was worth it

TAX BRAKE • The shooting brake’s conception as a tax dodge belied its role as practical transport in an austere era, exemplified by Austin’s A70 Hereford Countryman

The British woodie • Although they are most associated with America, Britain has a rich history of timber-clad classics, from Rolls-Royce to Morris and Austin

HISTORY AT THE HOME OF RACING • It’s been a long time coming, but the Silverstone Interactive Museum was well worth the wait

MEETING IN THE MIDDLE • BMC went up in the world with the opulent Vanden Plas 4 litre R, with Rolls-Royce power bringing it up against Jaguar’s everyman S-type 3.4

“Nobody knew anything about this film when we started. We just did it” • Back in 1975, British Leyland made a mad Mini advertisement in central Amsterdam with stunts that echoed The Italian Job. Nearly 50 years on, several of the key players involved recall how they pulled it off

LITTLE STAR IS BORN ON THE BIG SCREEN

NEW YEAR, NEW READ FIRST THREE ISSUES FOR JUST £3!

COUPÉ CHASES AARON TO ARRAN

FINALLY ALL GOOD IN THE WOOD

PAUL GOMMI • This Californian former racer’s garage is a shrine to 1950s and ’60s memorabilia

BENTLEY FLYING SPUR • Traditional British saloon-car luxury meets the very latest powertrain technology
