Welcome

‘Each downshift from the Jaguar pierces the blanket of noise coming from the rumbling 327cu in V8 in the nose of the Corvette’

At a time like this, when we all face an unprecedented challenge to our very way of life, it seems almost frivolous to talk about old cars. And yet now perhaps more than ever we need our passions, both for the distraction they can provide from the difficulties that beset us in our everyday lives and for the community that we have created around them – a community upon which we can all call for kinship and support.

Which is why here at C&SC we are going to continue to bring you the very best stories we can from around the classic world, to keep you on the road between our pages even when you can’t leave your home. And you can help us, too: we’d love to hear the stories about your cars and your classic history, and to share them with fellow enthusiasts. Just get in touch with a member of the team using the contact details on p10, or alternatively visit any one of our social media channels – you might just make a new friend or two.

If you’re concerned about getting out to pick up the latest issue, turn to p34 and subscribe to get the magazine delivered to your door – and your computer or tablet. Alternatively, you can order single copies and back issues at magsdirect.co.uk – and check our website for the latest news and offers. In the meantime stay safe, and I can’t wait to see you at one of our great classic events when the calendar gets under way once again.
