Magazine articles for LAD Motorsport 500

[Splitty500]

Hi all! I have just bought the LAD Motorsport Fiat 500 from Rayrigg Motors who commissioned the model and I'm led to believe that it has featured in several magazines including performance car. They have given me a photocopy of one of the articles but I would like to know if anyone can tell me of which magazines and issue numbers it has featured in so I can get some back copies. Cheers!

By the way if anyone is interested I'm told that the car was given to Auto Italia last week for review.

I've seen it in the latest Auto Italia last weekend, double page spread I think.

Still getting to know it at the moment. Just downsized from a Skoda Superb so its a bit of radical change! I can tell you that when I tested it back to back with a standard 1.4 Sport it rides a bit better normally, wouldn't actually say any softer but more supple perhaps but when slinging it around a few bends it was much sharper.
The engine work is all at the top end and feels pretty standard till around 4000 revs then you can feel the difference.
I was told by the garage that they kept 15" wheels when doing suspension mods because it gave best balance between ride and handling.

I think it looks great, its got a subtle classic race look about it.

lowered on those anthracite 15" alloys looks spot on, probably offer a bit off comfort as well than 16/17s.

Have fun with it
