Retro Cars Magazine – it’s back!

Some of you may remember this mag from a couple of years ago, well, it's back!

Set for relaunch in a few months, RC has been taken over by Unity Media, publishers of Performance VW, Performance BMW, Performance Ford, Banzai, Retro Ford, GT Porsche, BMW Car and new launch title Performance Car.

We’re aiming to freshen up the old magazine’s look and feel, but keep the same level of enthusiasm for retro metal at the same time. As such we’re on the look out for potential feature cars and we’ll be putting ourselves about at various meets and shows over the coming months whenever possible.

If there’s something you think we should know about, or if you think you might have the perfect motor for us, then get in touch at my address (mwphotography"at"fsmail.net). We’ve got big plans and projects in mind but RC is your mag, so if there’s something you want to see don’t be afraid to give us a shout.

regards
Matt

I've still got the first issue - an SD1 fest I seem to recall.... Nice!

Just make sure the writers are good this time. Better than PVW's twunts too.

Great mag!

Glad to see it coming back.

I did enjoy this mag although some of the articles got a bit poor towards the end. I suppose it also comes down to finding good cars to feature.

The biggest problem was actually finding a copy in the shops to buy..

I'll certainly buy it again - let us know when it will be out.

Most excellent!!!!!

Please say itll be like it was for the first year or so of its original life

Cheers chaps, I'll put all your comments to the new ed.

I to am looking forward to it, i was shocked when it closed so it will be great to have it back, there seemed some thing for every one in there

I loved this mag, great to see it coming back. Will have to battle with PPC now though for my money!

Awesome, I'll be subscribing to this.

Used to like that mag when it was about but will defo have to compete with ppc!

The success of PPC proves that there is a market out there. PPC doesn't take a month to read either so another mag like Retro (if done properly) should do well.

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

Just make it about cool cars rather than just fast cars and i think you will be on to a winner.

retro was a good mag, didnt have much in the way poncy shite and scrubbers in it, just good honest down to earth cool retro cars like the label, i welcome the return if its going to be similar.... If i wanted to see jubblies i'd buy razzle!!

Must admit never read it. Was it like CCC of early 90's??? If so.....cool

IIRC, retro was deliberately made diffuclt to find, by the publishers (not the editors / staff) who wanted to 'drop' the magazine... I recall the only place i ever saw the last two copies that i found was both at motorway service stations...
Not in any of the 'regular' outlets for sure. If this has the full backing of the publishers, then it'll work.

Also, is the show coming back? Was one of my fave shows of the year.

a bit, more car features but a bit less techy.

Glad its back! Used to get it all the time.
