no

I've looked through every month of that year, and I can't find it. I didn't check the adverts at the back!

[pnegyesi]

hmm, how can I help you? I just went back to the specific issue in 1953 - it is available online you know and it is right there.

[nicanary]

You have been extremely helpful Pal. In fact there have been so many clues that I'm surprised nobody else has answered the puzzle. It shows how few active members we have.

I have now looked at every page of every month of that magazine. Nothing. I have gained access to the online archive and again I found nothing. Is it the Le Tout ?

[pnegyesi]

no, it's not that

[nicanary]

Does this car have a name which was not the builder's name ?

[pnegyesi]

yes, because it was backed by a club so the name of the club became the name of the car

[nicanary]

The Otter ?

[pnegyesi]

no, but it is a name of an animal

You have been so helpful with your clues Pal. With the latest information I just browsed through my trials reports from 1953, and realised to my horror that I don't have the March issue. The puzzle photo shows snow on the ground, so definitely winter, and the March issue would have shown events from February that year. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
