As nobody else seems to have spotted this yet, I guess that I'd better • delurk
and bring it to everyone's attention....

The current issue of Autocar magazine (dated 6 October 1999, Rover 25 • cover)
has a four page article on Technic supercars - primarily 8448, but there • are
also pictures of the earlier models.

Probably of prime interest though are pictures of rejected design models • for
8448, most of which have some very odd-looking temporary body panels, and • IMHO
look poorer than what we finally ended up with.  There are also pictures • of
earlier versions of 8448 in blue and yellow bricks.  Apparently Lego got
students at Coventry University to do these designs.

Before anyone asks, I don't have the facilities to scan these • pictures/article
in and put them on the web (not to mention the copyright infringement • issues
:-).  I'd also better point out that I have no connection with Autocar • magazine
whatsoever - I had to fork out 2 quid at the newsagent for it same as • everyone
else!

Regards,

John
