Practical Classics Magazine....

Hi,
I did an all day photo shoot and test drive comparison yesterday with Practical Classics magazine. The shoot was all day and we did loads of driving with the roof off which was a blast. The comparison was between Triumph Spitfire x2, MG Midget, MG TF and an MR2. So hopefully it should be a good read.

My X did 300 miles yesterday never missed a beat and the Practical Classics staff loved it... So hopefully it will come out with a good write against the competition.

Can't wait to get my copy!

Should be an interesting comparision. I reckon the X will do well but might get pipped by the MR2 reliability and twin cam engine!

Yes! It will be interesting to see how it compares with the MG TF. MG is much more modern of course but very similar to the X1/9 and MR2 being mid-engined also. Not seen them compared directly before.

I once took my old Gran Finale to the local garage as I was having an odd carb issue. The guy at the garage drove us both out in it to try and get the intermittent problem to occur. He said that he had an MGF and liked mid engined cars. Two minutes later, he said that he much preferred the exxy, saying it was way more fun!

I look forward to reading the piece.

Back in June 2005 mine was ratad well amongst a very mixed bunch when at Cadwell Park with Practical Classics Danny Hopkins.
