Great magazine, well done guys.  Mary and Victor's car looks fabulous on the cover.  I wonder about the color reproduction though - is it my imagination or does the car have a slight tint of green?

The green tint comes from looking at such a sweet setup. I do love a 24v in a GTV6.

Possibly a reflection of the almost pristine blue skies off the yellow car?

Thanks for the encouragement.

Nope, just checked the original photo, definite green tinge to the upper panels of the car.  Where have you been storing the car Victor?

Cheers

Magazine comments much appreciated.

As for the green tint; perhaps the car had been sitting idle for so long it encouraged the moss to start growing

As always one of the best club mags I have ever seen.  For those of you who enjoyed Jock's article on the Mille (p24), I need to add a bit of amplification on the trip up to Falls.  Later in the the day, "the old bloke in the Austin Healy" was heard to remark; "I thought I was pushing it a bit up the hill but I couldn't shake off that bloody yellow Gelati van!"

No, I'm not the old bloke in the Healy.  I'm the old bloke with the Z4R in the pic along side the Gelati van.
