Classic.Retro.Modern. Magazine Nov/Dec 2023 Edição anterior

Will Beaumont is the editor of the rather excellent Werke, a quarterly magazine that celebrates BMW culture. We’re delighted to say that Will has penned our cover story, not on something from Munich, but on a luxury V8 from Ingolstadt. Come for Will’s history lesson and driving impressions, stay for Dean Smith’s wonderful photos from a wet day in Wales. The feature is just what the doctor ordered…

Once you’ve devoured Will’s masterwerke, we’d like to draw your attention to our eight pages on the Peugeot 205. We’re celebrating 40 years of the supermini by picking 40 of our favourite 205s, from Accent to XT. Although our number one might be predictable, we really, really, REALLY fancy a 205 Indiana. It’s all about the saddlebags.

Elsewhere, our resident Youngtimer and his pals travel to Le Mans in a collection of old classics, including what Ben describes as “an arguably epic Triumph 2500S”. We’re not going to argue.

Richard Dredge travels to America to meet the man with more than 550 cars, Rich Duisberg tells us why he’s searching for a Lancia Gamma Coupé, and Skorj explains why the little Daihatsu Midget is so big in Japan.

There’s more, including the unwelcome return of Gav’s Autobarn, a homage to the Avon Turbo Acclaim, six of the best performance compact saloons, and our pick of the classifieds if you’re in the market for some winter wheels. Oh, and Gavin drives a Citroën C5 X to Hull and back.

Print is the best way to enjoy Classic.Retro.Modern., but if you can’t make it to the shops on 1 November, you might be delighted to discover that we’re now on Readly. Yep, little old us in the company of 7000+ magazines. Go us, etc.

Enjoy the new issue.
