Classic Cars February 2024 edition

Updated on

Inside the February issue we celebrate the cars that influenced us from the drama of motor sport to screens big and small. We bring together a 007-style Aston Martin DB5, Bullitt Ford Mustang 390GT, Morse-alike Jaguar Mk2, Professionals-inspired Ford Capri and an actual Saint Volvo, plus Ford Escort RS1800, BMW M3 and Subaru Impreza to analyse their appeal.

We also drive a Saab 99 Turbo prototype and interview its creator,Geoff Kershaw, founder of Turbo Technics, put our foot down in a crazy tuner special, the 200mph Koenig Ferrari Testarossa Competition, put a reader in a long-coveted Lamborghini Countach, reveal the life story of the unique Guyson E12 and show you how to buy a Sunbeam Alpine

All that, plus our ever-entertaining columnists Quentin Willson and Alex Riley, market news and event highlights, the monthly highs and lows of our own classics, four cars for sale tested and more, make the January issue unmissable.
