Classic.Retro.Modern. Magazine  |  February 2022
They said it couldn’t be done. Minds immeasurably superior to ours told us our empire would crumble if we dared to venture along this path. Nothing good will come from this, they warned us. Turn back before it’s too late. And yet here we are with a Matra Rancho on the cover of our mag. We’d call it a post-Christmas bonus, only our subscribers were receiving their copies before Noel Tiddybeard started delivering presents. Issue seven is the gift that keeps on giving, long into the new year.
You can blame our deputy editor if the magazine disappears without a trace following the decision to stick a Rancho on the front cover; he has been lobbying for its inclusion since the days when Classic.Retro.Modern. was little more than a sparkle in our publisher’s eye. Read Gavin’s words on the Rancho, because they might be the last words he writes for us.
Gavin also drives an Innocenti Regent, as well as spouting more waffle on cars like the Chrysler Neon and Audi A3. Oh, and he also introduces us to his son’s Range Rover P38.
More convincing words come from Richard Dredge as he interviews the people behind the Young Retro Motor Club and profiles the new generation of classic car fans. Fancy buying a BMW Mini in 2022? The Ultimate Guide tells you everything you need to know about this modern classic.
Richard Heseltine profiles Lotus founder Colin Chapman, a man he describes as “a free-thinking innovator”. Mr H also lists six of the best Special Spridgets and waxes lyrical about the Bertone Jaguar Ascot.
Data from Hagerty reveals the classic cars immune from market hype, and we introduce Sam Glover as our new correspondent. Darren Walker’s letter from America features the Montego (no, not that one), while the reader restoration is a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen.
Other cars include the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, Hillman Imp, MGB, Mini Mayfair and Rover 220 GSi, while our regulars include Sheds Heaven, Your Classics, Kicking Tyres and Ignition.
