I was sorting through some old CCC Magazines over the weekend and got sidetracked reading some of the old project Golf features. What happened to the cars? Does anyone know? There was the Mk2 VR6 they had - G331XLW (?) - and Dave Walker's colleagues silver Mk1 that they uprated the brakes and experimented with NOS and stuff on... Was just wondering!
The Mk 2 VR6 (IIRC done by TSR) was later owned by a lad called Harjit from Bradford - it got repainted/retrimmed and subsequently featured by PVW!
I was thinking exactly the same thing the other day as well. Oh, my missus thinks I'm SAD for keeping all my old Mags (Golf, PVW, CCC etc etc). Told her it's for reference material but I suppose 15 years worth is taking the take a leak ! ! Anyone else got a BIg collection......... Darren W but you have !!!
I have... (but I'm single too!) CCC Magazine 1987-2003, and complete years of 73-78 and 80-85 Performance Car 1984-1987 CAR 1982-2004 (and loads from the 70s and 60s) Mini World, about 4 years starting from issue 1 All the original 'Retro' magazine Loads of old PVWs that I got given Classic & Sportscar 1988-96 and loads of others LOADS of old Street Machine, Custom Car, Hot Car etc Loads of old RallySport Fast Lane about 15 old issues + hundreds of random other ones (60s/70s Autocar/Motor and whatever else)...
Speaking of old CCC mags - I've found a copy from March 1993 with TSR's Mk1 G60 on the front cover. The reg is CPC 605Y. Has a Corrado G60 conversion tweaked to 205bhp, Mk2 16V 'box & Jamex suspension.
I have that one issue !! (This is gonna get sad !!). Went out in that car when Styles built it, went well, but the straight cut box was freaking noisy. Then they sold the lumo and the car seperately !! [:^(]
It was the black one with TSW Evo wheels, and funny looking bonnet vent just above the aurfilter housing that was base don something like aq KFC Box ??
yeah that's it... I thought it was dark blue. Didn't it have blue edgeing round the grill or something? Of course, now I'm in the middle of sorting through them all, I've got no idea where that issue is to look for myself!
Yep, pretty sure it had blue edging on the grill. Was on the front cover of CCC form a front / side angle shot if I remmeber righlty parked on some concrete ? If I'm right then I'm even Sadder than I thought I was the better one to lok for though must be the article on Awesomes G60 Mk1 in that lovely Blue colour where it wsa parked in the Quarry !!
Got that too somewhere... Or the Rover V8 engined blue Mk1 with the big arch extensions... or the reviews of the Dubsport twin engined ones... CCC Converted Cars of the Year weren't they?
I remember that hideous Blu MK1 with the Rover in it, it was a fetaure towards the back of the mag ! Can't remember if they were CCC Cars of the year though. Remember reading it and thinking they were one short of a full pack though !!
Whey Hey - thats it !! Had Big bumpers - My missus be pulling the plug out of the wall now if she was here !!
Heh somewhere I've got the CCC issues where Tim Stiles built his first road/rally/hillclimb Mk1. Hmmm wonder where they are!
