As well a the full page article on the website, in this months retrorides mag there is a big article on 'Sid', the HB DTV replica that Andy at Bodyworkx built. Another HB lurks in the background as well, looks like opelscotts. They generally urge people to buy a Viva while they still can.

Got my copy today:



and as you say there is a large article on Sidney, another one of my old cars (OOPS)

Do I get a prize for having two of my cars pictured? (the bottom 2 pics). Ok, current car and HB I used to own.

Also in the June issue of Retro Cars. A large article on Silver Bullet, the Sportshatch with 6 headlights. A small bit sent in by someone who used to hillclimb/sprint a modified HA Van! With photos. A couple of photos of a yellow HC estate with yellow wheels, looks better than it sounds. A few pics of the well known HA with supercharged Zetec motor. And at the back a tantilising photo of a full rally spec Magnum which they go blasting round a forest in, in next months issue.
