If you have a passion for older cars – from Veteran pioneers to 1960s design classics and everything in between – The Automobile is the magazine for you.
The Automobile is a top-quality monthly magazine devoted to historic cars – their discovery, history and enjoyment. Our unique mix of contents makes an irresistible monthly treat for collectors and connoisseurs. In our features we bring depth of knowledge and excellent reporting – free of distracting hype – to ‘deep reads’ on desirable and fascinating cars.
We drive and describe a wide variety of survivors, accompanied by glorious photography. We commission original research that brings alive motoring history and the fascinating characters involved. We are the only UK magazine to do this in such an in-depth way, and to continually publish previously-unseen archive pictures.
Founded in 1982, we have consistently aimed to bring readers a fresh take on historic cars every month, and now our archive is available to read across web, iOS and Android devices.
