Page 203 of June 06's Classic and Sports Car, "The classics you should buy now" a centre page article on the GTA.
A pretty good summary, looks like the hard work has paid off Mr Jon. :) :) :)

When you subscribe, they come in the post a couple of days earlier than in the shops. This gives you the pick of the bunch when shopping for a new motor.

It's now in the shops.

Current issue with the Porsche Supertest on the cover.

The GTA pictured is one of mine :D

Soon there will be a group comparsion of a Delorean, Volvo 262C and Alpine A310 focussing on the PRV engine.

The photo shoot is on the 19th May so it should appear in a month or two.

Ive wangled a feature of my car in Track & Race Car, and Performance GTI, simply because a friend of mine is a writer at T&RC and loves Alpines' and I know the ed of PGTI... :D

Its not going to be a review of a standard car, but at least it gives the GTA and the marque decent exposure..

It would be nice to see the cars pitted up and compared against more modern machinery, rather than just in Classic publications - there's more life in the old girl yet! :lol:

I've easily kept up with a new 350Z !

Didnt fair too well against a GTR Skyline thou, mind you he didnt exactly shift away from me at a warp speed !
He carried on well above 90 but I decided not to go above 75/80 as my licence is a bit more precious to me nowadays.. :)
