| Post subject: | Modern Motor Magazine - Shamus Series. |
I recall in the early to mid '70's, that MM Magazine (or was it Wheels???) had a red Clubman GT named Shamus, as a long term test car. When it was time to hand the vehicle back, an article titled "Goodbye Shamus" was penned. Does anyone have a copy of the monthly updates or of the final article? I'd love to re-read it. Thanks. |

Wheels – Jan ’72 (Shamus part 1 – first 1000 miles) Wheels – May ’72 (Shamus part 2 – Life with Shamus to 4000 miles) Wheels – July ’72 (Shamus part 3 – Goodbye Shamus, up to 8375 miles) Wheels – Sept ’74 (Shamus part 4 – Remember Shamus?) They were the 4 magazines with Shamus staring Cheers, steve

I've got a couple of the Wheels mags with the Shamus feature - the tester gave it a great review and thought it was terrific for driving in the city and winding country roads. |
