Next week's edition has an article by James May; in the main picture he is behind a display of model cars. Right in the front is a magenta Sprint. Accident or statement?

Good spot, I wonder if a Sprint will be featured.

Edit, just read the article and it seems he will be raving about the dolomite Sprint!

I thought the number plate looked familiar.

Looked good on TV, didn't think any new programmes would feature one again.
