Would anyone have a Triple M Yearbook for 2003? I would be very pleased to have a copy of an article on page 40 entitled "M-type to Monte Carlo" by R Gordon. Any help would be much appreciated. I believe it is the car pictured below.
I am pleased to say a member has very kindly allowed me to view the article and VU 5270 is indeed the car in the car which appears in the 2003 Triple M Yearbook.
Is Robin Gordon who wrote the article an active member today?
Simon We have a Robin Gordon as a member of the forum. Don't know if it the same person. Nick

It is the same person indeed. See a picture of him in his C type in 'Members cars C0290'. Also the report of the 2012 Summer Gathering in the Oct 2012 Bulletin.
No doubt Ray Masters will add further comment as Robin has been a personal friend of his for many years.
I wonder if Robin has seen the recent pictures of VU 5270. Though certainly more than ready for some restoration it has survived the last 60 plus years surprisingly well.
The 'originality' zealots can have some fun philosophising about this one.
I have told Robin of this posting. Whilst still a dedicated Triple-M guy he is not a regular reader of the forum as many of us are. His C-Type is ''on the button'' & ,hopefully ,will be out & about in the near future. The pictures posted by Brian were taken on a demonstration lap or two of Oulton Park at an MG meeting a couple of years ago.
