Being written is an article on 3 cars from the 90's. A Lotus Esprit V8, Ferrari 355 and my 993TT went down to Beachy Head for a photo-shoot last Tuesday. Steve sutcliffe drove the cars and will compare them in the magazine, don't know when. Great weather all day, and great fun driving up and down.....some pics....

It looks like it will be the Jan edition out shortly. I think it will be about 'affordable supercars', and based on the Lotus. I haven't seen the article yet, so I have no idea what it says....
 
It's in the Jan edition now....under 'Bargain Supercars' (sic)....nice pics, pretty good write-up.

I purchased my copy the other day, a 355 vs 993 turbo article has been a long time coming for classic & sports car, but it was a very good article, and big'd up the 993 turbo in spades. Although bargain super cars somehow seemed wrong for the ferrari 355 and the rapidly appreciating 993 turbo.
 
Amen to that....

Still didn't mention that in the 'real world', the 993TT was the easiest to live with too!

Have you found the missing 6bhp Paul?

Yup, I did mention that to them. The editor thought it produced 408PS, which is 402HP.....I put him right!
He even said that they would correct it, but don't hold your breath!

Did the Fiat and the Lotus make it back? Three great cars though of that era.

Yes I think so....the Lotus followed me back for some of the way, and was sold shortly after, I believe.
The Fiat had only done 28k miles, so looked like new! Sounded great racing up and down but you had to keep it above 5000 revs to have it 'on song'....not very usable on a day to day basis. Good fun though!
