Meanwhile, along with tech tips, restoration tales and updates from our workshop and the many project cars within, we celebrate 70 years of the VW T2.

What can the Jensen Interceptor and Mk1 Ford Ka possibly have in common?

Plus, they feature in the Practical Classics buying pages this month. Our team of experts present a detailed guide on how to purchase the very best, with tips on restoring and maintaining these two icons of British motoring.
