Does anyone have a copy of the write up from The Motor magazine of teh 1946 speed runs that DMH did in Italy - 106 MPH in an Elliott?

If so I would like to get a copy (photocopy, email, html, anything as long as it's readable). I will re-imberse any costs of course.

Thanks all
 
My book reports "The Motor" tests on the Milan-Como autostrada in December 1946. The speed recorded as 104.65 mph over the flying quarter-mile and the standing quarter-mile was timed at 17.8 seconds. The Healey was therefore claimed to be the fastest British production car.
