Old Newspaper Article Comparing Harrier to a Car

Many moons ago, there was a newspaper article which amusingly compared an early Harrier to a car - factory fitted radio, 0 - 100 in 8 secs etc.

Has anyone got the article in electronic format? (I've searched PPRuNe etc, but can't see it).

Thanks for reading.

They've also done Concorde, HMS Diamond, A stunt 'plane, and many more.

The Harrier test pre-dates t'internet by some time, and it doesn't seem Autocar are inclined to load up their archive.

They ought to publish them in a book sometime.

I thought this might be about the Riley Kestrel - the pre war one, not the BMC 60's garbage
