VANTAGE MAGAZINE

VANTAGE MAGAZINE is no more

But trying to get back issues is turning into a farce !!!!, Having ordered 11 back issues to complete my collection, the first order simply failed to arrive.
The second re-order was short by 4 copies and soaking wet !!! So this is re-order time No3, finger crossed they arrive complete and dry, anyone else had problems with Dennis Publishing ?

Yeah I was wondering what's going on as normally I get Vantage mag, but this time is was Octane??

So no more Vantage magazines, if so that's rubbish.

Such a shame as it is a quality product.

They said it was due to people not passing through stations and airports that the sales dropped too much.

Subject to actually receiving the back order from Dennis I'm looking for issues 1-4, to make up the the full 35 issue run

Yes. They did not treat me very well, so I dumped them.
Subscription ran by direct debit for about 3 years, then without reason, they suddenly said I needed to do a direct debit.
No response to my communication.

Perhaps say on here which copies you would like, to complete your collection. You never know, might be lucky.


(Edit - I now see that you have just done that.)

Pity - I threw out about 30 editions a couple of months back.

Same here.

I did read in the last editorial that it was ending.

I wasn’t to.d that Octane was coming instead though.

As mentioned on this topic, the Vantage magazine ended a few months ago, but I have just seen an email from a publisher named Kelsey, announcing a new Aston Martin magazine.

That seems more than a coincidence. Might there be some kind of connection ?

This one? Might be good. I will make sure not to give edition 1 to be young child to cut up like I did with vantage magazine

celebrate all that’s best about the marque: from the iconic models such as the DB5 and DB6, through to attainable modern classics like the DB7 and DB9 plus of course all the current line-up of models such as the DB11 and DBX

Doesn't sound like there's going to be much in it for 1950's 'Feltham' and Pre-war enthusiasts and owners. I'll wait to see how it develops.

I imagine this is all a scam. Follow with me for a while.....

1. Octane >> finite topics / cars / photo ops. Closed down

2. Vantage >> Re-label, regurgitate Octane articles....finite topics / cars / photo ops. Closed down

3. AMD >> Re-label, regurgitate Vantage (Octane) articles....finite topics / cars / photo ops. Closed down

I would bet the same people running the Vantage editorial are now running the the AMD articles?

does this sound feasible?

Has Octane closed down? I still receive my copy each month...

Cos its an improved car over the DB5, looks almost identical to Joe Public yet about 1/4rd of the cost because it doesn't have the 007 connection.
