New issue of Octane Mag has comparison of five Brit sportscars inc LHD Wedge 450 SE. I wonder whose that is?

Is it the green one or the red one? If the former, I know the car and the recent ex-owner.

Just read the octane article - seems a strange example of a BBW to use for the article to me.

Apologies - I didn't have the time to read and then write a full description of the article.

It's a two page spread with probably only about a half page of text. The car is LHD and automatic; allegedly built for a member of the Bahrain Royal family, aquamarine blue/green. It is both complimentary and critical, with a brief guide to wedge ownership in a bottom strip.

There are some interesting articles on some other motors.

I think the mag may be on the shelves now.

If you mean the July one with Jags in, I had a flick through in the newsagent and totally missed that one, although there was a small article featuring a wedge in a "dropheads to buy" section.

No - it doesn't appear to be in Classifieds. BUT YES! After a second look and making an allowance for colour discrepancies between print and internet - and also reading the flippin' advert - it is the one!
