I found this Alton-Jaguar apparently the same car... http://www.forix.com/8w/reviv05/track/sun/photos/photo_91.html Also another listing for a 3.8 Alton-Jaguar 1954/58. The Alton-Jaguar was also the subject of an article in the July 1959 "MotorSport" magazine. -- Last edit: 2010-01-13 20:56:03

Ingo ◊ 2010-01-14 23:16	@john: nothing for me inside the early 70ies-issues? Recently, on a classic car-market, I've searched a batch of some 1971-1975 "Motor Sport", but without success.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2010-01-14 23:19	Looking for what ingo? Please remember I have only one copy of each and there are gaps.
Ingo ◊ 2010-01-14 23:27	For anything about the VW K 70. No problem, if you don't have dublettes. Then I'll search on eBay or on markets. I just would like to know, if there was something in that magazines, too.
