    Cool, it will be interesting to see what they have to say. The UK mags usually get here a few weeks later than they hit the stands over there.

    I haven't seen it yet, but the article was written by Martin Buckley. He loves the 400 series, and even owned one for a while. His dad also owns one.

    He drives a (rare) manual 412 in the article, which I have read. He loves it. A very nice piece. I happen to know the car (and owner) and it is a very nice example in super condition.

    So, will the article be "biased" towards "its a great car !", or will it give us a fair representation of the cars qualities , which I don't doubt it has many, but also the car's issues? Will see.....

    I am sure that it will be a fair representation...........that it is a great car, even with the few well known issues! :)

    Just got mine in the mailbox today. Nice article. seems honest to me, representing well the pluses and the minuses of the car...It seems 412 Manual shift is the way to go.
