Bought it earlier in the week after seeing another thread, a good read all round and not only 911s. Enjoyed the Jensen article and the article on the 1934 Special.

Cliff notes, anyone?

Accurate in detail?
Long on hyperbole?
Short on anything new?

Curious if it's worth tracking down

If you frequent this site, you aren't going to learn anything you did not already know....
Worth a download on the iPad for less $, sure...

I think I'll buy it for the Jensen Interceptor article. (sorry, off topic.)

Nothing new and no "guide", just a introduction about these cars for those who didnt care yet. I ve read this kind of articles a dozen time.

Always interesting to find faults by otherwise well informed writers, this tells the soft-window Targa was discontinued because "it was'nt water proof", but -as factory reports show- it was rather that its vinyl rear roof expanded/retracted in different climate conditions, leaving to difficulties when closing.

I usually buy Octane, its a beautiful made magazine with always a great mix of infos. This time about the Jensen Interceptor and the unique Bugatti 1930ies never flown airplane, the replica initiated by a retired US Air Force pilot. Well done.
