Aston martin driver magazine ending

[Vet Guru]

Just been sent a letter to say issue 17 is the last ever issue of Aston martin driver magazine
A shame as Vantage magazine ended which was also a good read

Thanks for the info.

But I have to say I´m not half as sad as I was when I heard about the discontinuation of the fabulous VANTAGE magazine in 2021. That was a shame indeed.

I agree that was such a great magazine also

I agree -- a shame, but not nearly as much of a shame as the loss of VANTAGE. The problem with AM Driver, IMO, is that it was absolutely full of errors. Every magazine has the occasional error, but the level of inaccuracy in AMD was absurd. It was interesting to me that there was no letters to the editor section. I wrote to the editor more than once in a genuine effort to be helpful. Not once did I get a reply. I wonder if anything will fill the vacuum.

Join the Aston Martin Heritage Trust and you will receive a copy of ASTON, the yearbook of the AMHT. One coming out in next couple of weeks for 2024.

Not the Club. No one dressed up as Bond wearing a novelty waistcoat/bow tie and white DJ and standing next to a DB7 i6 with a 'JB' or '007' plate. Or having a picnic at a polo ground. Or doing an "I was there but you were not" at Le Mans. The latest issue has a road test of the latest Vantage by Jethro Bovingdon, a proper look by a pro writer at the Bond phenomenon in the DB5's 60th year, a colour breakdown of the first Vanquish and a world exclusive, the definitive history of the 1954 Lagonda V12s that came out of a nearly 10-year restoration to worldwide admiration at Pebble Beach four months ago - no other publication has this story. And much more over 90+ pages.

See https://amht.org.uk/support-the-amht/become-a-supp... for more details.

Your reference to JB and 007 reminded me.

I read recently that there is some kind of rumpus regarding the next James Bond film.
Amazon acquired MGM for $6.5 billion, which included the rights to distribute Bond films.
I think Barbara Broccoli has retained control over certain aspects though.

There seems to be a disagreement, which has resulted in no progress with the next James Bond film.

I have just joined (seemed the right day to do it) and hopefully that qualifies me for a 2024 copy of the journal?

I've just joined too, looking forward to getting the most out of Aston ownership in 2025.
