Hi,
I'm looking fot a 1997 (or perhaps 1998) car magazine that had a road test of a Honda Civic 1,6 vti saloon, an interview with Sir Jackie Stewart while driving the same car on a circuit, and a Bentley Continental on the cover...
I had it and lost it and would llike to read it again, but unfortunately I can't remember what magazine it was.
Do you know it?
Thanks,
nga

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Memory can play some tricks, particularly 25 year memory, but yes, I would say they were all on the same issue.
I remember a relatively dark cover, with a dark (perhaps green) Bentley. And Sir Jackie showing the journalist some surprise for a 8000rpm red line on the Honda Civic vti...
Thanks

Thank you for your research! I don't think that's the one, unfortunately. I believe a photo of the Bentley (a Continental T, if I remember correctly) was on the cover...
But thank you very much for your efforts!

Might it be in Autocar or Car? I've got those years (and many, many others) in the loft. It'll take a wee while to check though, it's a bit of a dig and currently it's too damned hot to spend much time up there.

Hi, EmailAddress and youngsod,

I found it! No need to bother, youngsod, thank you for offering to search your collection!
I decided to look for that particular issue of 'Car' EmailAddress directed me to, on ebay, and there it was, the one I was looking for and that previous searches on ebay did not show...
It's "Complete Car", June 1996 (sorry for the misleading 1997...)
I ordered it!
Thanks again, it was very kind of you both.
