Pre-owned Practical Classics magazine – February 2025 issue.

From the supplied image, this copy appears to be in good used condition overall. The front cover remains clean, bright and highly presentable, with strong colour and clear print.

There is light general handling and storage wear, including minor rubbing around the outer edges and corners. The top and side edges show a small amount of age/use wear, with slight softening at some corners. There are also some very light surface marks consistent with normal magazine handling.

I cannot see any major tears, heavy folds, large stains, writing or serious cover damage in the supplied photograph.

Please study the image carefully, as it forms an important part of the condition description.

Description

Original Practical Classics magazine – February 2025, packed with buying advice, workshop guides, restoration information and features covering a wide selection of classic and modern-classic cars.

This issue has a particularly strong Triumph-focused cover, with a blue Triumph TR7 dominating the foreground of the main photograph.

The headline feature is:

“Tunnel Vision – 5 Cars That Won’t Lose Value in 2025”

A major buying-focused feature looking at five underground classic-car choices considered worthy of attention for 2025.

The magazine promises practical advice covering:

What to look for
What to pay
How to buy well

This makes the issue especially useful for enthusiasts interested not just in the cars themselves, but also in the classic-car market and potential future values.

Triumph TR7

The most prominent car on the cover is a blue Triumph TR7, photographed from the front with its distinctive wedge-shaped bodywork and pop-up headlamp design.

The TR7 is one of the defining British sports-car shapes of the 1970s and 1980s, making the cover particularly attractive to Triumph collectors and enthusiasts.

Rover 75 & MG ZT Buying Guide

The lower-left cover advertises a substantial:

“75 and ZT Big Guide”

covering the Rover 75 and MG ZT.

The magazine describes it as guidance on how to buy “the Rover Group’s last hurrah”, making this an appealing issue for enthusiasts of late Rover Group cars.

A Rover 75 is also pictured on the front cover.

Fiat X1/9 Buyer’s Guide

Another major feature is the:

“Fiat Wedge Buyer”

covering the distinctive Fiat X1/9.

The cover calls it:

“The great big guide to the tiny X1/9”

and shows an orange example of the compact mid-engined Italian sports car.

Triumph Project Feature

Across the top of the cover is another Triumph-related article:

“Two Mates Triumph”

with the subtitle:

“It was so rotten, we doubted our sanity!”

The feature appears to follow work on an older Triumph saloon/project car, giving the issue additional appeal to hands-on restorers.

Workshop Guides

This issue also advertises several practical workshop features, including:

Rebush your suspension
Wax – the big polish guide
Cure vague steering
Refresh your driveshafts
Sort an ABS ring sensor

These practical mechanical and maintenance articles are a major part of the magazine's appeal for owners who work on their own classic vehicles.

Main Cars Featured on the Cover

The cover prominently highlights:

Triumph TR7
Rover 75
MG ZT
Fiat X1/9

alongside several additional classic cars forming part of the “Tunnel Vision” feature.
