Capri magazine test articles

Post by KHummel66 »

Does anyone know which auto mags actually printed articles on the 1985 ascMcLaren Capri coupes when they were new?

Mike Negus has an image of the Jan. 28 1985 Autoweek article on his website and I am pretty sure the March 85 Car and Driver issue has one (I bought one on ebay to confirm); which makes 2. Were there others? I have looked through my Road&Track index for 1985 and don't see any reference to any articles but I want to page through the mags to be sure.

Did MotorTrend print one? Any others?

I think I have one on the '86 Capri 5.0L done by Sports Car Illustrated or the mag that eventually became Muscle Mustangs.

I'll check tomorrow.
