A MONTHLY MAGAZINE FOR THE THINKING MAN

If your passion is for earlier cars — particularly the hand-made, limited production sporting and luxury cars of the prewar years — then The Automobile is for you.

Our monthly magazine is the only one in the world specialising in pre-1960 vehicles of this type, although we do, of course, also feature the more interesting mass-produced family saloons on a regular basis. Unlike so many other old car magazines, we insist original, in-depth research goes into all the material we publish. Instead of recycling endless articles about popular classics of relatively recent types, our authors delve deep into surviving records to find information that has never before been published. Elegantly written, and illustrated by original photographs, technical drawings and artwork, this material makes up a large proportion of The Automobile's content each month. But there is more. In his monthly Finds and Discoveries column, which has appeared regularly in our pages since we started publishing 25 years ago, Mike Worthington-Williams chronicles an astounding variety of older vehicles salvaged from barns, collapsing sheds, farmyards, hedgerows and open fields all over the world. His unparalleled network of scouts and contacts makes this easily the most comprehensive such feature, and the one most regular readers turn to first when picking up The Automobile. Other popular features include our illustrated auction reports, which cover in detail major sales in Europe, the US and Australia as well as the UK; our news pages, which keep readers abreast of all that is happening in the old-car world; our comprehensive accounts of important sporting events such as Classic Le Mans, Pebble Beach, Goodwood and the Brighton Run; and of course our correspondence columns, renowned for the extraordinary erudition shown by our readers in 44 countries
