Just reading the intro on "the new kid in town" David Lahey and while surfing the net came across this wee bit of British Modern-Right Royal  :-*  ;D

I you trying to get vmx magazine in trouble with the photo of the Bultaco? :)
Some of those guys on trials oz seem to have taken a serious dislike to it even though it would have to be the most standard bike around

It did seem to be very fortuitous timing to have the eligibility controversy in full swing on the forums when the photo appeared in VMX, but don't forget that the content for that issue was set before the web forum discussions even began about the bike. I just thought that the Phillipson Bultaco M10 is one fabulous-looking bike and that people would enjoy looking at it. Another very nice (and a bit unusual) bike coming up next issue.

By the way is my stock-standard MX400B eligible for pre-75 yet? I'm pretty sure I bought it in 1974 ;)

Just having a dig, I reckon it's gorgeous as well & the controversy seems to be fed by some seriously sour grapes.
From this side of the ditch I'd say that bike is better ridden in classics with the small amount of bikes that are in the class, going up against a tlr or fantic on bike that historic just doesn't seem fair to me
I look forward to seeing your articles from now on in vmx mag as you don't show any bias from what I've seen :)
