Ironic headline on the second magazine given current events - how times have changed...

Are the pics and write-ups any good? I do mean the ones of the cars

The Penthouse write up is more focused on the 3000M with a test drive review in France, very much of the era, with lots of references to the cars bird pulling capabilities (I think mine must have been broke for the last 30 years).
The Mayfair magazine is a broad brush synopsis of the British car industry of the seventies, with Leyland and Ford dominating, and the artical is mainly about all the smaller specialist sports car makers of the era and the various obsticles they have/had to overcome.
It finishes with a potted, and not very accurate, history of TVR and an intruduction to thier latest M series models.
Interestingly it descibes the ML model (my car used in the photos) as the lift tail option for the M series, which it wasn't.

Sorry it took so long to come back, but, in true seventies soft porn mag fashion, the articles start on one page then are continued later on in the mag and I got somewhat destracted.

Were not the Penthouse reviews ghosted by Stirling Moss. There were two Penthouse M series reviews, and in the late 80's The S and 400SX were sebject to Penthouse reviews and the 390SE appeared in a special Penthouse Girls and Cars edition (no words just pictures, just the ticket for GAjon and Terminator).
