In the June 2023 Edition of Practical Classics magazine, James Walshe and his friends Chris and Tim buy a shabby US-spec Rover SD1 and attempt to drive it across America. Starting in Los Angeles with the aim of reaching Boston, will the lads do it?
There’s similar jeopardy for our guest restorers too in the latest mag, with enthusiasts battling to revive all kinds of classics, from a Vauxhall Cresta and Lotus Elan to Danny’s Peugeot 205 CJ and Andy’s Morris Traveller. There’s also modern classics workshop action involving a Mazda MX-5, Smart City-Coupé and Ford Mondeo. See how the team wrestle with ECUs, while Matt, Ed, Nigel and Theo get stuck into more traditional maintenance work – including fixing overdrive and piston slap.
There are in-depth guides to the Volvo P1800 and we ask if the innovative Audi A2 is worth a look, while our columnists ask some difficult questions about rust and seat belts. Meanwhile, Craig reports on a round-the-world Aston and there’s a whole bunch of barn finds to get your teeth into in the Rust in Peace pages. No other mag can do all this!
