Does anyone have a copy of the above Classic & Sportscar magazine, March, 1994 article on the Superfast to scan and post?

I'm certain this car was for sale at Pullicino Classics in London between 95 and 96 when I worked there.

 

Steve, I have that issue of C&S (in fact, I have a complete set back to 1982), but I'm not set up to post the entire article here. If you want to see it, send me a PM with your email address and I'll see what I can do. It would take me quite a while to see if the same Superfast is advertised at Pullicino Classics in 1995/96, but as noted, it WAS advertised at Cloverbush in London in March 1994.

 

Thanks for your reply, Jeff. PM sent.

 

Thank you for copying and emailing me the article, Jeff. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks again.
