Just spotted this thread, read page 1, thought "sounds good, where do I sign", then read the last page..

Could someone give me a brief summary of the 17 pages in between? (save me reading them all)
New Magazine set up

Folded after a few issues for reasons not disclosed

Another magazine picked up subscribers for the remainder of the original subscription period

One issue, rather than 'a few' issues, though.

Which? The original "Strada" or the "Substitution"

Strada issued one magazine.

There were plenty of people who paid for the first four issues for the year.

Magneto took on the remainder (presume three issues) of the subscriptions.

There's another copy of Strada #1 on eBay with a very ambitious buy-it-now.
Particularly so when they’re still available here for a tenner: https://www.magazineheaven.com/strada-magazine.htm...
Nathan, I bought mine here: http://www.eaurougepublishing.com/ with no joy as yet. Are they connected with magazineheaven?
If you could drop me a line via PM I’ll chase that up for you. I’m no longer employed by ER but I can ask the question.
Much obliged to you. Done!
Nathan kindly put me in touch with someone but I've not had any joy from either my first contact, nor the subsequent reminder.
My copy has arrived! Looks great, thanks to Nathan for his help.

I haven’t received mine either. My last one. Not going to lose sleep over it.

Been enjoying Classic Retro Modern though. May subscribe to that

Received second copy of Magneto today (Issue 12).

For me, it looks better, content wise, than 11 was.

Do the original Strada 1 year subscribers get one more issue of Magneto?

I've had 2, possibly even 3 issues of Magneto. Most recent one arrived yesterday.

To be honest I've totally changed my view on it. At first I was pee'd off at being told I was getting something other than what I'd paid for or maybe if I was lucky a refund, then even more pee'd off at finding out that I was in the camp where my details hadn't transferred over from Strada so was either getting nothing or having to chase to even get a copy of Magneto to now, where after having a good enjoyable read every couple of months I'm now a proper subscriber to the magazine.

I subscribed to Strada from the very beginning. I've only recieved one Magneto so far.

I was happy too to get something for the remainder of the initial Strada subscription but won't resubscribe as it looks like it works out at £13 per issue. Ouch.

Hold out! I just had to go to the post office to pick mine up after an attempted delivery yesterday.

My Magneto arrived yesterday but I subscribed to both Strava and Magneto so I don't know, or care, if it's a Strava one. It's just worth noting that nor all copies arrive at the same time.

I’ve just learnt of Strada’s demise... as I opened the box for what I thought would be issue 2, but is another mag biggrin Shame as Strada was onto something IMO, the 550 article was lovely. I’ll remain open minded about its replacement but it’s not ticking the same obtainability box for me. So far it feels a bit like a publication for wealthy historian car collector types who don’t actually drive their collection. I hope I’m wrong.
