David Vizard MTN Archive

 

MTN was published by DV from Jan 1980 to Dec 1983 and in the days before any monthly Mini magazines was an essential read for Mini tuning enthusiasts, Triple C by then was reducing its coverage of the Mini as other far more modern cars were by now taking its place in the world of small competition and performance saloon cars. I was a subscriber and MTN Roving Editor at the time.

 

This MTN may also be of interest:-

MTN was published by David Vizard from Jan 1980 to Dec 1983 and in the days before any monthly Mini magazines was essential reading for Mini tuning enthusiasts, Triple C by then was reducing its coverage of the Mini as other far more modern cars were by now taking its place in the world of small competition and performance saloon cars. I was a subscriber to MTN and after sending in regular content by mail to DV in the USA/winter, UK/summer (pre-internet or email days) he later promoted me to 'Roving Editor' with a regular column called 'The Bell Report'! After 4 years DV sadly had to call it a day due other demands on his time. For those that still have a collection of MTN's TMF forum member 'r.tec' has found and kindly shared a useful link to an index of the contents of all the MTN newsletters which can be read and downloaded as a pdf file here:-

Some front covers from my collection of David Vizard's early 1980's 'Mini Tech News' monthly magazines, published in the days before Miniworld or Mini Magazine.

(Little did we know back then that the Mini would go on to last another 18 years despite the reports at the time of it's impending demise..............)
