LETTER

Quentin Willson • A holiday romance has left me pondering whether the first-gen Land Rover Freelander has a case for classicdom. And yes, I’m serious

John Fitzpatrick • The frequent sales of cars I used to campaign always bring back memories of my racing days, and the characters I met along the way

LOTUS ELAN 60th • From replacing the troublesome Elite as a more conventional volume-seller, to becoming a handling benchmark against which small sports cars are still judged today, the Lotus Elan supremacy has endured for six decades. Cue our 21-page celebration

FIT FOR A CHAMPION • This Lotus Elan S3 FHC was Jim Clark’s last road car. We take to the border roads that formed him to find out why he found it so beguiling

Jim Clark: ‘My Kind Of Driving – Your Kind, Too’ • In October 1964, Jim Clark spoke to Small Car magazine – which soon became CAR – about his road driving technique, his opinions on the average motorist, and his Radford Lotus Elan

LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT • The Elan transformed an ambitious Lotus from bit-part player to major engineering force. We drive this rare S1 Elan 1600, fresh from restoration, to find out how

GOOD OL’ BOYS • This racing Corvette RPO-687 saw NASCAR royalty take on European sports-car sophistication. Did it triumph? We find out, on track at Goodwood

‘All we had was the drawings and a badge’ • A piece of Scotland’s rare motoring history could have vanished forever without the resourcefulness and commitment of a unique body of men

‘I will drive my Mercedes SL for as long as I live’ • Magical dancing queen Debbie McGee explains her love for the R107 Mercedes 300SL she’s used for the last 23 years

Seven steps to buying a Land Rover Discovery • The overlooked Discovery is a bargain way into a classic Land Rover – for now

Lamborghini...

Pillarless is peerless

Alvis at tipping point

Sound work for BMW

1976 Porsche 911 3.0 Targa £69,500 • This Porsche is in incredible condition, as Dale Vinten reports. It’s a shame that’s not backed up...
