At least one Professional will recognize this car. Any more questions before this one moves up?

Well it must be an escort Mk2 judging by the door shape - I thought I knew this car but obviously not...

Hang on, it's the Astron GT of 1985.
I knew it had been a cover star and now came across the mag!

One point goes to Oswald for the complete answer.
Cover Star? Mag? Can you post a better image of this car? There is only one image of this car online, and only one image in the book from which I got this scan.
Congratulations! You have joined the ranks of the Professionals!
