Ever owned one of these? Each month in PC, we give you in-depth guides to finding the best examples of a classic - and then explain how to buy, restore and run them. Next issue, out in a week, it’s all about the Jaguar XK8. Get the mag delivered to your door! Link in bio!
Show us your Italian motors!
Nothing quite like a mooch around the local scrapyard (if they still allow it). Fascinating and useful if you find spares for your project car but for misty-eyed fools (like us) quite undeniably sad.
Up to much in your classic this weekend? Our pal Andrew Thompson sent us these shots from a Citroën breakfast event in Belgium last Sunday.
Go behind the scenes with the PC team when you take out a subscription. A rather good deal it is too - get 3 issues for £5! 🚗 ➡️ Shop now!: bit.ly/3VfdH1b
Do you use your classic as your daily driver? The chap who owns this does. Apparently, he got fed up with the cost of running modern cars!
Doing a charity road trip this year? Tell us all about it! This French contraption, heavily modified with flashing lights and sirens, is the work of the Walster family, who are off around Europe to raise funds for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.
As seen recently in Practical Classics magazine! Good luck, chaps!

Classic roadster with lashings of chrome or modern classic sports car with mod cons? Or perhaps you have both?
Any three wheeler fans out there? Here’s a 197cc 1957 Bond Minicar MkD. The Preston-built Minicar was built between 1949 and ‘66 - three wheels, no reverse gear and low weight meant it qualified for lower purchase tax, excise duty and could be driven on a motorcycle license.
You might remember our editor’s recently rescued Mondeo V6 from the barn find display at the Practical Classics Classic Car & Restoration Show. Well… after five years in a hedge, it’s time for a thorough scrubbing! (The car, not Danny).
Meet the Corona Dardo. When Brazil prohibited vehicle imports between 1960-92, it was time a time of improvisation. The Dardo had a (familiar looking) fibreglass body with locally-made Fiat 127 mechanicals underneath.
Impreza, XJR, Chimaera, Merc Cosworth, TR7, Clio Williams, RS Cosworth, Golf GTi… oh, and more sensible things too, like a Mini, Panda, SD1, Saab 900, Marina, Smart Roadster, Jowett, Austin Seven… and loads of restoration tips. New mag is out now!
A rather nice motor vehicle.
