EDITOR’S
LETTER
Here at MOG HQ we’ve always got a multitude of plates spinning,
be they events, photography, deadlines, editorial plans, stories,
photoshoots or something else entirely. Some of these fall off the
poles before they’ve really got going, others seem to spin along without much
need for intervention, and others need continual attention to ensure they don’t
wobble and fall off when you are least expecting them to. Unfortunately, this
month’s cover story proved to be one of those that managed to achieve all three
of these, rescued only by some emergency mediation as this particular plate
threatened to smash to the floor on more than one occasion. Having organised
to take the fabulous new 80th anniversary 4/4 on test direct from the stand at
the Geneva Motor show, our best laid plans, not to mention budget on ferries,
flights and hotels, were put at severe jeopardy before we even left England when
we learnt that the car had been sold during the show. Luckily, the new owner
was an amenable sort of chap and kindly agreed to us putting a thousand miles
on the clock of his shiny new toy before he had even got behind the wheel
himself. First plate smash averted. Next, having taken the car, our trusty writer
and photographer made their way up into the mountains and got a few photos
under their belts. Good job, as the plate was wobbling perilously while our backs
were turned! It appeared that some import/export red tape had been
overlooked, and the 4/4 was urgently required by the haulage company taking
back the rest of the cars from the stand – no 4/4, no return for the other 7
vehicles. A frenzy of international phone calls then ensued and after an extra 12
hours’ driving by the team and a return to Geneva, it was discovered the lorry
had, in fact, left without the 4/4 after all. We had managed to catch
the plate, but it was definitely off its pole!
Still, the extra drive gave us ample chance to test this
valiant little car, and gave us some incredible photo
opportunities. Hope you enjoy them!
