In the April 2025 issue of Practical Classics, we take an in-depth look at the cars launched in 1975. From Leyland’s Princess and the Vauxhall Chevette to Jaguar’s ground-shaking XJ-S, our John Simister takes a spin in each car to see how they stack up.
Our journey around Cornwall in our finished project cars continues as we meet the fine folk of the southwest of England and their classics, while there’s an adventure in the other direction – Scotland in a Volvo 740! You’ll find a guide on how to buy the best VW Beetle and Toyota MR2, while there are stories of epic restorations carried out on a Wood & Pickett Mini and a Delorean.
In our workshop pages, you’ll find tips on rattle can repairs and suspension springs, while our writers tell you about their own 2025 projects – from Fiat 124 Spider and Austin Ten to Citroën Dyane and Trabant!
