Pre-owned copy of Practical Classics – April 2023.

From the supplied image, the magazine appears to be in good used condition overall. The front cover remains bright, colourful and highly presentable, with the main Price Guide artwork and vehicle images displaying clearly.

There is some light edge and corner wear, particularly around the outer corners and along the spine side, plus minor surface rubbing/handling marks consistent with normal previous ownership. The lower edge and barcode area appear intact, and there are no obvious major tears, heavy staining, writing or large missing sections visible in the supplied photograph.

The magazine lies reasonably flat, although there is slight natural handling waviness to the cover. Please use the supplied image as the main guide to exact condition.

Description

A collectible April 2023 issue of Practical Classics magazine, built around a major classic-car price guide covering more than 1,800 cars.

The cover headline reads:

PRICE GUIDE – Over 1800 Cars, Every Classic, Every Price!

This makes the issue particularly useful for collectors, buyers and enthusiasts interested in classic-car values, market trends and model-by-model buying information.

The magazine presents a wide mixture of British and European classics, modern classics and enthusiast cars, with many different makes and body styles shown directly on the cover.

Cars Featured on the Cover

The cover is packed with recognisable classics and modern classics, including:

Jaguar E-Type – prominently shown near the top of the price-guide section.

MGB – a bright green example appears prominently in the central lower section.

Citroën 2CV – one of the classic French cars featured in the price-guide montage.

Saab 96 – specifically promoted in the lower cover text with a buying guide.

Ford Puma – specifically advertised as a featured profile inside.

Audi TT – represented among the modern-classic choices on the cover.

Honda Civic Type R – visible in the lower vehicle montage.

Mini – shown among the selection of more recent classics.

Reliant / Bond Bug – the distinctive orange three-wheeler appears at the bottom-right, with a restoration feature promoted inside.

The cover also includes numerous additional saloons, sports cars, coupés, roadsters and practical classics, reinforcing the issue's broad market-guide theme.

Main Price Guide Feature

The principal selling point of this issue is its extensive valuation section, with the cover promising:

“What we think you should really pay in 2023…”

and

“Over 1800 Cars – Every Classic, Every Price!”

For collectors, this gives the issue added historical value because it captures the classic-car market at a specific point in 2023.

It should be particularly interesting to anyone researching how values of certain classics have changed over time.

Ultimate Triumph Feature

Across the top of the cover is an “Ultimate Triumph!” feature highlighting a TR5 build, prepared in connection with the marque's centenary.

This adds further interest for Triumph enthusiasts and readers interested in restoration and project-car features.

Additional Features Advertised

The lower cover strip highlights several other substantial articles:

Bond Bug restoration

Saab 96 buying guide

Ford Puma profile

ULEZ exclusive

Practical Classics show news

This hands-on workshop content is a major part of Practical Classics' appeal and makes the magazine useful beyond simple browsing.
