Hi folks.
Does anybody have a definative list of all the Trophy magazine road tests, / articles.
Ie issue numbers, or months..

Im having a massive clear out of old magazines, and wouldnt want to chuck out some "special" ones.

Mags that are going out are,,,

Car and Car conversions,,, yes were going back a few decades....
Practical performance car
Heaps of Porsche mags, ie
GT purely Porsche,
911 Porsche world,
Among others.......

Most of my Porsche Post mags have already bitten the recyling bin....

I have a lot of EVO mags from issue ONE onwards. Up till around 8 years ago.... Not sure what to do with them,,,,,,,, yet.

I just dont read them anymore, most if not all the info ill ever need is online nowadays...

Thanks...

I'll have a look through the ones I have later on, not the definitive selection by any means, but it could be a start.

Used to love C & CC back in the day, think there's probably a collection of those still in my Mothers loft! :D

Has anyone got the part numbers for the 172 Cup thinner lightweight glass, or is it just another self perpetuating myth?

My subscriber copy popped onto the doormat a few days ago, I'd better open it and see....

Edited to add:

Afirmative. The Trophy features in their 25 Most Significant Drivers Cars, nice to know our little cars are still held in such high regard, and although slightly biased, not without good reason.

Sounds like this is going to be a cracking edition of Evo.

Look forward to getting a copy in 2/3 weeks when it lands on the shelves over here.

Then it will be onto Autotrader to see how much scrimping is required to get my arse into one of the cars listed 🙄
