Request: Aussie car magazine articles about BG Astina SP

[93SP]

Hi Everyone,

As per the subject line I'm after some scans from Aussie car magazines from around 1992-1994 of any articles with a BG Astina SP in them. I remember I've seen a comparo from either Wheels or Motor of the BG Astina SP, KH TX-3, Corolla SX (?) and some other car I forgot from about 1993...

Reason I'm after this stuff is that the Astina SP in some of those comparos/photo shoots is mine! It was a Mazda Australia road test car (with Vic rego MAZDA) before it entered the private market. I'd just like to have copies of the articles because I think that would be pretty cool.

Hope someone out there has some old mags lying around.

If you do a search on the Wheels or Motor magazine web sites it can tell you the editions you are looking for then see if your local secondhand motor bookshop has them. It can take some finding but can be worth the look.

hmm i've got a pile of old wheels mags at home, not sure if i 've got that particular one, but i'm willing to have a squizz

when's it likely to be from? 1992/3 i presume?

Wheels magazine,
September 1990 page 110 ..|.. :lol:

It's an excuse to go over to Motor book world in Camberwell if no-one has a copy

[Rupewrecht]

hmm will have a look when i get home!

if i've got it, you can have it

In that case has anyone got anything on the BA Astina's?? It would be interesting to see what they said at the time.

I have it somewhere, covers the suspension development at Nurbergring etc...
If I find 'em I'll scan 'em and maybe an administrator can make a section for them, or not

These are the Wheels editions that contain Astina.
