Collection: Classic Cars Magazine

Originally published in the early 1970s under the title Thoroughbred & Classic Cars, this distinguished British magazine quickly became a leading voice in the world of vintage and collector vehicles. It was created to cater to the growing interest in classic motoring at a time when post-war sports cars, grand tourers, and historic racing vehicles were becoming increasingly collectible.

The magazine set itself apart with high-quality photography, authoritative writing, and a dedication to the heritage and craftsmanship of the world’s finest automobiles. Each issue featured road tests, historical retrospectives, restoration stories, auction previews, and profiles of iconic marques such as Aston Martin, Ferrari, Bugatti, Bentley, Jaguar, and Alfa Romeo.

As the classic car movement gained momentum through the 1980s and beyond, the magazine evolved, eventually shortening its title to Classic Cars to reflect its broader appeal. Today, Classic Cars Magazine continues to be a trusted source for enthusiasts worldwide, documenting the stories and machines that shaped motoring history.
