Just had a call from John Barker, and Evo would like to feature a Stradale in their front cover story for the next issue.

NO track driving, but the car must be available at Goodwood circuit for photography on Monday next week (12th January).

If they get a choice, they would prefer one with a stripe to really mark out to the non-cognoscenti that it is a Stradale.

Please email me on david.y@auto-journals.com if you can help.

Thanks in advance!

what are the other 9?

I'm a subscriber, so it won't prompt me to put my hand in my pocket, but waiting makes William gind his teeth mad

Sorry Tony, you were just beaten to it! frown

Judging by the time it took you to source the Stradale it could never become a classic. Too many around already.

Why do magazines and the like leave it so late before trying to source a car for an article/event? On more than one occasion I've been asked if my car is available, but it's always been at such short notice that I haven't been able to help.

If it becomes an emergency call to the public like this one, it is usually because their usual sources have failed to come up with the required car or they've been let down at the last minute by the manufacturer.

I only know there is also going to be a Vanquish and a 996 GT3.

Dunno about the rest, but why spoil the surprise anyway? (No Vixpy, I don't think a rusty GTV6 is on the list... wink )
