This issue features:

• Cover Story - Zensational (Datsun 240Z): Dubbed the hairy-chested successor to the late-lamented Big Healey, the Datsun 240Z soon became the world's best-selling sports car. This month's 'Profile' takes a long, hard look at the 240Z and its successor, the 260Z.

• The 57th Variety (Bugatti Type 57s): Mike McCarthy recounts the opportunity to drive not one, but two Bugatti Type 57s, which have recently been out and about in a pair of fabulous examples.

• Double Bubble (Bubble Car Match): A back-to-back confrontation between the Isetta and the Trojan (née Heinkel). Two bubbles, similar in concept but quite different in reality.

• Executive Edition (Ford Cortina): John Mullins tells the story of the cult car that emerged when a standard Cortina Mk II 1600 GT was given fancy interior trim, a hotter engine, and uprated suspension: the stylish Ford 1600E.

• Labour of Love (Jaguar SS): Mark Gillies discovers an enthusiast-restored pre-war Jaguar SS drophead coupé that was rescued from being a parts car.

• Wild West (Lotus Seven): A look at Chris Smith's Westfield firm and its turn toward the original Series One Lotus Seven.

• Lister Sprint Specials: Examining the most attractive of all fifties sports racers, the 'knobbly' Lister.

• Trident Tested: Emma Page, the intrepid pilot, tests a Maserati 250F track car and a tiny Trident.

• Spatown Spectacular: Brian Jewell reports on the historic first public demonstration in England of the "new-fangled horseless carriage" at the 1895 exhibition.

• Top 20: John Bolster tells the tale of the Silver Ghost, often overshadowed by the later Light Twenty.
