Mustang Monthly - December (Aussie Edition)
« on: November 13, 2014, 09:49:04 PM »
Congratulations to Paul Shervington here in Perth Western Australia on making the cover of Mustang Monthly!

Paul took out the Thoroughbred award in last years Nationals held also in Perth.

It's a great achievement and well deserved to grace the cover, the car is amazing to see in the flesh, a job well done.
Regards,
Dom

Peter you are correct (not a GT), it has been misprinted, makes you wonder how a simple error can be made.
I haven't seen the issue yet either, I saw the cover on the Mustang Monthly facebook page, looking forward to having a read as always...

I received my hard copy yesterday here in South Australia but the plastic wrapping was ripped and rain got in and soaked the whole magazine. Not happy.

The 2nd pic I posted in the first thread was the day after judging for public display, there was no license plate surround...

Mine was delivered with small slit in the plastic, minor damage but a couple pages are discoloured, if yours is severely damaged I would request a replacement, I've done this previously for a month I didn't recieve...
At least we get our shipped in a plastic covers, others like subscribers in the US and Canada get a sticker smack bang on the cover which doesn't peel off without damaging.

I was just wondering why someone would put that on their car when they're trying to replicate a concours correct car.
Question for Vince perhaps when i see him next.

It is possible the cover photo shoot was taken after the Nationals and the surround was put on prior.   The surround appears to be plastic and they are easy to take on & off with damaging the numbers. 

If the surround/s were in place during judging these would incur a point or two deduction as they aren't correct.  Trust me I have experienced this at the 09 Nationals & were I received a deduction in three seperate areas for 2x number plate covers.  I've learnt my lesson.
Washing, polishing and cleaning stuff some more in an attempt to retain that 'Golden nugget'

I quizzed it simply because I couldn't see whY you would do that "before or after" judging when your focus is on concours.
