        For those wondering what this is all about I was approached back in July by Practical Classics to see if they could use my Montego Mayfair in a buyers guide they would be running in a forthcoming issue. I took the car for a photo-shoot to a studio in Derby and the results were to say the least stunning. I will put some pics on later in the week when the magazine goes on general release.

          Jeff, I didn't write the article, it was done by my friend and colleague Richard Dredge. I however put him in touch with Ray, let him borrow my car for "Spot the rot" and Simon and I gave him some hints and tips.

          But I'll pass on the message :-)

            Yeah I can see that part was your car Sam, didn't realise that you hadn't written the article, had no name on it so as your picture is there I assumed

              Richard's byline should be somewhere... might be in small print on the first spread somewhere?

                    Those pictures must have been touched up, that car looks like it's just rolled off the production line! Absolutely stunning.

                    Do they even make cars these days that don't have a grey dash?

                      They've made a great car look truly awesome. Better than contemporary brochure shots!
