In the November 2024 issue of Practical Classics, we meet the man who wanted a Metro 6R4 so much, he built his own Toyota-powered version! There’s a clash of the modern classic roadsters as the BMW Z3 goes head-to-head with Mazda’s second-generation MX-5 and we hear from a father and son who restored their stunning Fiat X1/9 together.
There’s loads more restoration action at the PC workshop too, with work taking place on a Land Rover, Morris Minor and Peugeot 205 among others, plus top tips on refurbishing callipers and deep cleaning the carpets in your classic.
Meanwhile, James heads for the hills to celebrate 30 years of the Audi A8 by hyper-miling an example from St David’s in Wales to John O’Groats in Scotland – to see if we can get the big 8-cylinder monster close to 20mpg!
There’s an in-depth guide to the Rover 800 and Sunbeam Alpine, a national radio DJ finds good use for a Renault Kangoo in Bangernomics and we choose between a Lancia Delta Integrale, Escort Cosworth, Mitsubishi Evo VI and a Subaru Impreza.
