exchanging magazine reviews of the Murena (modified)

21. Gran Turismo (don't know date) - RHD Murena 2.2 Turbo.

I have a copy of this magazine.  This car is for sale at the moment - it does not have a turbo on it though as it was sensibly removed many years ago.  The RHD conversion used a steering box not a rack!!

Do you have a scanner ?

I have started to send these reviews to Lennart Sorth (not sure if he'll thank me due to the size) and I think he will post them on his site so everyone can look copy at their own free will.

(not sure if he'll thank me due to the size)

on the contrary.
THANK YOU - THANK YOU  - THANK YOU :-)

I have plenty of space on my mailserver (which is also the server where MatraSport runs) - and it is connected using 100Mbit, so just go ahead and make my day.

I will process the files to a good quality/filesize compromise and put them in the vault.

HI Lennart

If I have any articles that are not on David's list I will get them scanned and send them to you.

Ahh so it IS true... Size doesnt matter!! 

ahh - that reminds me of that wonderful Hélène Mahieu .... erhm I mean *Renault* commercial that ran in the UK some 10 years back - "just 4 centimeters of extra Va Va Voom" or however it went :-)

Anywayup, size *does* matter, all have their preferences and I have thus made them smaller. :-)
I chose 100 pixels vertical and 90% jpeg, plus some filtering:

I'll add the files as they arrive.  Lewisman, just go ahead, I'll try to keep up :-)

Good work old boy! I'll send some more now I know your getting them and can do something with them..

[RazorbackNOR]

I'm going to see if I have I OCR software somewhere  at home, could be fun to make the reviews into a document, so it could be translated. I think I'm not the only one here that don't speak english, french and german fluidly....

[RazorbackNOR]

If anybody has any scans of fairly good quality, i would very much like to try them out in the OCR-prog, Michals scans was scanned on a too low resulotion....

[RazorbackNOR]

Came across some sellers brochures on a Matra site in Portugal, will try and see if a can get a hold of them tomorrow an post them here. I belive they were dutch.

I wonder if they have any "legal" papers for that conversion!!?

[davidewanprice]

Sorry for the VERY long wait, Ive now scanned all the matra road tests and offer them to all who want them. These are not small files so beware. Let me know if anyone wants to host them..

PS I'd still like any of the missing ones from my list!
