Default french language Cobra magazine

It's called 427 Magazine. I could go to Google translation but they make such a mishmash of French to English I'll just print their table of contents in French.
Now the next challenge is how to order a copy, maybe on their website it tells how.

http://www.o-kiosk.com/Revue-427-Rac...o-auto-1.html#
================================================

Inclure les anciens numéros Auto & Moto > auto > 427 Racing n° 1 - 100 pages - x - 5.95 €




EDITO :

CE MAGAZINE SERA BIENTÔT DISPONIBLE...SOYEZ PATIENT !

Depuis plus de 40 ans, le mot Cobra évoque, pour les amateurs d'automobile de tout âge, l'automobile ultime, la puissance démesurée, l'accélération à couper le souffle, la performance brute, bref le rêve à l'état pur.
La Cobra est née du cerveau de Carroll Shelby, ancien vainqueur des 24 heures du Mans en 1959, qui ne pouvant plus courir pour des raisons de santé, reporta sa passion sur son écurie de course naissante. Il eut alors l'idée de greffer un gros V8 américain dans une légère caisse anglaise et cette idée géniale concorda avec l'envie de Ford de lutter contre l'arrivée de la Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport en compétition.
La Cobra 289, mélange d'AC et de Ford, trusta les plus grandes victoires, aussi bien aux USA dans les championnats USRRC que NCCA, qu'en Europe si bien qu'elle fut sacrée Championne du Monde en 1965. Si les premières versions étaient équipées du small block 260 cubic inches, puis rapidement du 289 cubic inches, c'est pourtant l'image de la 427, au palmarès pourtant plus léger, qui marquera l'histoire à jamais.
Le big block 427, soit environ 7 litres de cylindrée, développait 425 chevaux en version route et 485 chevaux en version course. Il équipait également les GT 40 Mk 2 qui gagnèrent les 24 Heures du Mans 1966. C'est un moteur mythique qui évoque à lui seul la puissance brute, la force indestructible, l'invincibilité. C'est pourquoi, nous avons décidé d'appeler ce magazine, dédié aux créations de Carroll Shelby, 427 Racing.
C'est également Carroll Shelby qui fut chargé par Ford de fiabiliser et de faire courir la GT40, née Lola en Angleterre et c'est lui qui inventa le concept de la Muscle Car en transformant une paisible Ford Mustang en bête de course répondant au nom de Mustang Shelby 350 GT.
Qu'il en soit remercié, à travers ces pages dédiées à toutes ses créations, Cobra, GT 40, Shelby GT350 et 500.
Mais tout succès à son revers et le faible nombre de véhicules produits, 1003 Cobra (1962-1967), 113 GT40 (1964-1969) et 2 940 Shelby 350 GT (1965-1966) ne pouvaient répondre à la demande de plus en plus forte, des amateurs d'autant que la rareté faisant envoler les prix, certains modèles sont aujourd'hui devenus inabordables pour le commun des mortels. C'est ainsi qu'apparurent les premières répliques. De Cobra 427 en premier (Arntz en 1978) puis de GT40 (GTD en 1984). Enfin, toutes les pièces étant disponibles en reproduction pour la restauration d'une GT 350, il devint facile d'en faire un clone parfait.
La qualité et la fidèlité n'étant pas l'apanage de tous les fabricants de répliques, nous ne parlerons que de certaines marques, qui s'obligent à conserver l'esprit des créations de Carroll Shelby.
Nous espérons que ce magazine trimestriel vous plaira. Si c'est le cas, merci de le dire à vos amis ! A bientôt.

cordon blue, ze french, they do not seem to take ze paypal.

Wally, if you are still over at Brooklands painting the AC spy paintings, why not hop on the train thru the chunnel and pick up a copy of this magazine at a newstand? And if you bump into Trevor on his walk-about to/from Malta, why not drive him back home. His greyhounds miss him.

Some good French press on SAAC in this premier issue.

This magazine was reviewed in the Winter 2011 issue of The Shelby American, SAAC's quarterly magazine




427 Racing Magazine edited by Jacky Morel. 11 5/8˝ x 8 1/4˝ saddle- stitched; 98 pages; 214 color photos, 17 black and white. Text is in French. Published by Presse Magazine Specialisee, BP 18, 33950 Lege Cap Ferret, France. jackymorel@pmsmag.com $5.95 €

Jacky Morel is a SAAC member in France who has been to a few national conventions collecting photographs and material for the magazine he was publishing. It is finally done and we have to say that it is packed with terrific photos and although we can’t read a word of it, the pictures, alone, are worth the difficulty it will take to get a copy—unless you’re fluent in French. If you’re not, don’t let that stop you. Go to www.o-kiosk.com and navigate your way through the shopping cart and order form. If you persevere you will be rewarded with an excellent magazine.

Forrest Straight is on the cover, driving CSX3183, with an 8-page article on his Cobra inside. There’s also a good-looking six-page article on SAAC (maybe that’s why we like this magazine so much!). And an article on Mike Eisenberg’s MAECO Motorsport, coverage of SAAC-32, an article about Peter Brock’s Superformance Daytona Coupe, Jim Halsey’s ‘65 GT350 vintage racer, ‘66 LeMans coverage with photos we’ve never seen before, and a lot
more.

Vous avez realise un travail magnifique,Jacky. Nous ne pouvons pas attendre pour voirle numero 2 d’issue.
