Hello – thankyou for the kind comments, and for the feedback generally (both negative and positive).
We're always interested in different viewpoints, and suggestions.

Also, I've seen a few mentions of subscriptions issues in other threads – largely in those about a certain other magazine, and given the, ahem, thread titles regarding that it wouldn't really be cricket to bump those threads to answer questions about an entirely different magazine. I hope you understand!
Anyway, if you are experiencing trouble with your subscriptions, email us at editorial@modernclassicsmagazine.co.uk

Anyway, thankyou for your support and kind comments.

Nathan Chadwick
Modern Classics magazine


PS: @PH mods, is this okay?

Hi Nathan. Love the mag overall smile . So I signed up to a sub at the Classic Car Show in November - for a while you had no record of my sub, and then eventually you said "got it - it starts in March!". So takes a while to set it up!! Lady on the stand said the first copy would be issue 8, which was out the following week (or 2) I think, but she was obviously just making that bit up.

It's by far the favourite magazine i read and I have every issue, I love the content and the cars that are featured.

At aged 43 it brings back so many lovely memories for me of cars I've either owned or my friends have or I've driven, it's such a credit to the writers and everyone involved with the mag thanks. smile

Hi Bungle. That does sound odd. I think you've missed issue 8 (the next issue comes out on January 4), but March does seem an odd time to start. If you drop me an email to editorial@modernclassicsmagazine.co.uk with your subscription details I'll investigate.

Hi Nathan, I've been pretty vocal on Pistonheads in banging the drum for your magazine, both on this thread and the other one about the other magazine, again wanted to say "well done" for finding a niche in the market place. For years I have been saying that no-one published a magazine featuring the cars I particularly like, which are those that are about 10 years or so out of production but too young to be of interest to the two big Classic Car monthlies. So you come along and I've been a regular reader since Issue 1. The January issue looks right up my street, with the Mondeo ST220 in particular, a car which has long tempted me. I still find myself looking at them on ebay. Well done. The last magazine I enjoyed this much was the short lived Performance Car from 2008-09 and I only hope you can keep it going longer than they did.

Best driver's car for a grand feature? I'm interested to see what they'll pick out that selection too as it's pretty varied. Looking forward to the Nova Sr reflective as well

You might be slightly disappointed Steve...it's the diesel ST ...not the V6 wink

I was hoping it was the V6 model as well.

Other good stuff in it too though - CSL vs CLK Black, Nova SR, BX GTi 16v....and Lancer EX2000 cool

Plus some red Fiats

Popped out and picked up mine today.
Eagerly awaited this issue as the alfa gtv ts is featured and I recently purchased one of these.
Just stopped for a quick read in between clearing the Xmas decorations away -

Will have to pick this up. Was the last issue the one with the Skyline and the update to monthly release?

I was surprised there was no mention of the tendency of the diesel pumps to grenade on those. Probably the most common expensive problem they suffer from, and should your pump be dying, it'll take the injectors with it. You could spend a grand putting it right. Ask me how I know frown
