In the October 2024 issue of Practical Classics, our pals at MINI throw open the doors to the Cowley plant and allow us to celebrate 65 years of the original car. Matt Tomkins tells the story of the car as he drives his freshly restored Mini back onto the production lines at the iconic Oxford factory.
Meanwhile, there’s loads of restoration action, with one man bringing his exotic Lancia Fulvia back to life and an American car enthusiast in Middlesborough who created a monster in the form of his deafening Chevrolet Camaro.
Our writers choose between a bunch of classic super saloons – from Cortina to Dolomite – while we bring you an in-depth guide to buying a Caterham Seven and show you what not to do when searching for your perfect Citroën CX.
Elsewhere in the mag, a bunch of pals go on an adventure in their Triumphs, Danny buys a bargain Rover 75, James gets annoyed with his Berlingo, Matt goes racing in his Austin Seven Special while there’s a focus on leather and wood in our detailed tech pages.
