New on newsstands - SwissClassics Revue 52-6/2015/16: Moretti 850 Sportiva SS and 124, Datsun Z/ZX, Austin Seven, stock car, wood carburetor,...
Publications
The cover story of the last issue of SwissClassics Revue in 2015 focuses on the two Italian small-series vehicles Moretti 850 Sportive SS and the 124, which are more than just a Fiat. The buyer's guide looks under the hood of the Far East coupé Datsun Z and shows once again that not all sports cars come from Germany, Italy or England. It also reports on the Austin Seven and the first attempt to implement mass motorization in Europe and shows that the era of cars with wood carburetors is far from over for everyone. There is also a flashback to the 1950s, when cars ready for demolition attracted thousands of spectators to the edge of the grass tracks in the Gürbetal. Contemporary witnesses have their say and a true-to-original stock car is portrayed.
