MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - New RPM magazine article Sebring V8

Guys, the August edition of Practical Classics (which just hit our shores last week) has references in it to a new sister magazine called RPM. It seems that issue 1 of RPM was a freeby part of the August issue of PC. Now in this issue was an article on making a Sebring V8! Problem is that the Aussie copies of the PC DID NOT INCLUDE this 1st issue of RPM!!!! Can anyone scan and email me the article please!

Mark,
It was showing how you can build up a Sebring for under £4,000. Not too techincal but interesting.
I've got another magazine about another Mark who has built a V8 that he uses as a track day car.
I'll try to scan these in over the next couple of days.

I thought so. Thats my car, the photos were taken at Castle Combe. The article has been sexed up a bit cause I dont remember fitting the paddle clutch.
Fame at last!!!!!!!

Mark,

Finally got the mag.....the cockpit pic didn't show your brake light mod (presumably taken before Le Mans), but I do love the headgear.......Sheila says you look sexy in it !(She may be needing new glasses)

Did you order pics at Goodwood.?..... I did and they haven't arrived yet.

Have you spoken to MGOC about an article ?

Will have to buy a copy now, paddle clutch could be handy in winter floods.

I think you have me confused with someone else.
Ive not been to Le Mans or Goodwood yet!
That is if you were referring to me Mark with MGBGT in Retro cars mag.
