Classic Motoring Magazine

Classic Motoring was a fantastic UK monthly magazine dedicated entirely to the realistic, "bread and butter" end of the classic car market. Rather than focusing on multi-million-pound garage queens, it championed the cars that real enthusiasts buy, drive, and maintain on their own driveways.

For collectors, it is a brilliant archive of buying advice, market trends, and practical ownership tips for accessible British and European classics.

Key highlights for collectors:

  • Everyday Classics: Deep-dive features on the cars we actually grew up with—from the Morris Minor and VW Beetle to the MGB and Ford Capri.

  • Buying & Selling Guides: Packed with period-correct auction results, price trackers, and honest "warts and all" buying advice.

  • Mod & Mend: Fantastic practical sections (often called "Kerbside Care") dedicated to home restoration, servicing, and cheap engine overhauls.

  • Twin Tests: Classic group tests pitting contemporary rivals against each other to see which was the ultimate retro buy.
