1980 Motor Trend Fb Turbo article!

I know that all of you would enjoy reading this. It's from 1980 April/May Motor Trend Sports Card #5 Graphic. I also recently picked up several issues of Rotary Rocket and there's a nice article about a weekend spent from England to Germany and back with a Elford Turbo. Stay tuned!
