The May issue of Classic & Sports Car officially goes on sale in the UK tomorrow (Thursday 4 April), packed with features and news plus a new addition to the C&SC fleet.
As prices for 1950s Brit sports cars go through the roof, for our lead story we investigate whether there are any bargains left to be had. And even though their prices are also on the up – though rather more slowly than ACs and the like – in the Austin-Healey 100 (free wallpaper below), Triumph TR2 and Morgan Plus 4 we reckon we have a found a trio of 60-year olds that offer you all the fun for a fraction of the price of their contemporaries.
Elsewhere Mick Walsh tests a car that was never affordable: a sensational Ferrari 875S built for John Edgar and once owned by Andy Warhol. Scroll down for the free wallpaper of that one!
There is also a wonderful scrapbook of Gallic concours glamour, and a transatlantic battle when the Jaguar MkVII squares up to a Hudson Hornet.
C&SC also drives a remarkable survivor – an Alvis Speed 20 with a great history, wallpaper below – and talks to another, Lotus legend Len Terry.
Meanwhile, Martin Buckley gets to grip with a German threesome in the form of the stylish Borward Isabella family from Bremen.
