Quite a good magazine as long as you have lottery winnings burning a hole in your pocket. Yes the articles are well written and the photos excellent and if you want to sit and dream that your 6 numbers come up then you could afford to buy what is between these pages then this is the magazine for you. If however you want to own a classic or sports car then there are other magazines out there which are better suited and talk about cars you can actually own and drive not some fantasy cars that you may never see. If you like to read about flash cars or the rich and famous then this is the magazine for you, personally I prefer to get my hands dirty so read magazines about cars I own or could own on a budget and how to keep them on the road.
Advantages: Probably the most thorough and arguably one of the best written magazines available. Disadvantages: Not the cheapest...
...or are single marques, specials, Classic & Sports Car is the purist's choice. It really does hold something for everyone. There are pre-war Alfa Romeos, Art Deco Rolls Royces, 'woodies', even a steam driven engine more than a century old; There are period group tests, expert advice on maintenance (much of which is of relevance to modern cars) and there is a veritable mine of information from specialists in every concevable discipline from bespoke ...

Advantages: great range of vehicles of all sorts, cheap magazine, buyers guides Disadvantages: black and white on the whole
...I have to say that having read various second hand car books and supplements, Autotrader still rules all. They have an unbeaten number of adverts in their publication and the magazine is in depth. It doesnt just include private ad's but also trade ad's and it even has a buyers guide in there as well. The magazine is well seperated into good sections. These include Prestige Motors, Collectors and Classics, Bargains (1000-00 and under), General cars, sports, diesel etc etc and theres also a Commercial section with Vans, minibuses, hgv's and also a spot for Motorcycles, caravans and the section at the back includes breakers and salvage and insurance and services. Each section is split into alphabetical brand names so if your looking for anything from an Austin Maestro to an MG F or from a Citroen Berlingo to a Leyland lorry, this is...

...being sat in traffic and getting hot under the collar, but given half an hour to cool down she then starts up no problems (there's a lot of references to this problem on the internet)...
As i'd said in my original opinion, if you want a cheap classicsportscar without the hastle of constant breakdowns and the need to rebuild the thing from the ground up as it rusts apart, then you can't really go wrong with one of these old porsches. It may not have the power of the 911, but in my view the car looks far better, we even had someone mistake the car for a ferrari (despite the word "Porsche" being along both sides in huge letters!)...
I'm completely struck on this car, I'd hate to see the day when I have to sell it on, right now someone would have to offer me a ludicrous amount of money to part with it - that's how good the car is....

Advantages: smooth and sleek Disadvantages: I don't have enough money
...The Audi TT Quattro is a serious beauty of a sportscar which reverts me to a drooling wreck everytime I see one. The design is completely different from other Audi’s on the market but yet still unmistakably Audi.
The TT is available as either a coupe or roadster design – both are equally cool. The appeal is easy to see from the outside. It’s clear rounded shapes form it’s bold and dramatic style coupled with the traditional interlinked four-ring logo. In my mind the front view of the car reminds me of pandas! What? I hear you cry! I think it’s probably something to do with the black windowed headlights mimicking the panda’s black patched eyes.
I have to admit I don’t own one, have never been in one and can’t drive but I have it on good authority that the TT is a real classic...
