On sale 17 July to 13 August
Inside the September issue we deliver a reality check on those tempting Porsches you find for £10k, or less – dreams on a budget or nightmares of hidden costs? And we tell the story of how Porsche went endurance rallying in the original Cayenne to prove its credibility.
We also drive one of the rare Aston Martin DBSs transformed into a convertible by coachbuilder Paul Banham, let talented craftsmen explain how they took a battle-weary and occasionally crashed Fiat Balilla competition car and gave it a fresh lease of life, and capture how a reader gets on when we put him behind the wheel of the Citroën he’s always wanted.
For another reader, building his ideal car was the best route to driving satisfaction, and the story of his next 42 years with it suggests he made the right choice. But as our Lotus Elise buying guide demonstrates, it’s a lot easier to spend your money on a top example of a car that’s ready to enjoy, if you go armed with our expert insights. Lotus not on your wishlist? Our updated quarterly Price Guide gives the latest numbers on more than 1400 classics to help you plot your next move. Good hunting!
All that, plus our ever-entertaining columnists Quentin Willson and Alex Riley, market news and event highlights, the monthly highs and lows of our own classics, four cars for sale tested and more, make your latest issue unmissable.
