Do you crave nostalgia with added chrome? Do you long for a world where adverts were longer, louder and a bit madder? Do you remember a time when metallic oxide was a common car colour? Do you love four questions at the start of an e-shot?

Then you need Commercial Break Volume Three: the brand-new instalment of Classic.Retro.Modern. magazine’s cult series celebrating the golden age of motoring adverts.

Yes, it’s the third in the trilogy nobody asked for but everyone secretly wanted.

96 compelling reasons to buy your dad a Beagle, build your own Sierra and hook yourself up to the Triplex Hotline. The ads you probably skipped back in the day, but which now whisk you back to a world that felt more oily, vinyl-y and velour-y.

Order now – in time to wrap, gift or keep for yourself under the pretence of buying early for Christmas.

‘But wait, there’s more,’ as Jimmy Cricket nearly said.

The wet conditions didn’t stop Daniel Bevis enjoying a Mk1 Toyota MR2 along the soggy Sussex coast – though spare a thought for photographer Simon Thompson, who faced the elements head-on to capture the shots.

Elsewhere, our Picture Past is a car ferry special: a period photo extravaganza from a time when crossing the Channel felt more exotic than a bottle of Yugoslav Riesling at the Berni Inn. And in an unlikely twist, we explain how Margate Pier could have played a part in rebuilding the reputations of Fiat and Lancia during the 1980s.

Moving inland, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Renault 14, defend the legacy of the Ford Scorpio, and revisit a Belgian coachbuilder you may have forgotten.

Georgiana Buckingham-Smythe returns with more Celebrity Squares, darling; Dimitri Urbain selects six of the best Simcas; Rich Duisberg compares Morgan to his greenhouse; and Saab takes centre stage in Sheds Heaven.

All of this – plus words from our correspondents, updates from the editor’s barn, your classics, and a new electric car you might actually like.

We can’t promise sunshine, but issue 39 should provide some entertainment while you’re sheltering from the rain.

Antony Ingram takes a very different kind of turbocharged rarity to the seaside, piloting a Mazda RX-7 Turbo II to Southend-on-Sea. Rotary boost, late-summer light and a destination better known for arcades and a pier than apexes and lap times.

Elsewhere, we’re in a reflective mood. We mark nearly 50 years of the Volvo 300 series, a car long misunderstood but quietly loved by those who lived with one. We also celebrate the genius of the original Ford Ka: a small car that solved big problems with intelligence, quirkiness and a refreshing lack of pretence.

Hero Worship takes a turn towards the deeply unfashionable, as our editor explains why his Toyota Camry deserves reverence. Yes, really. Consider it a love letter to dependability, restraint and the joy of a car that never asks to be centre stage.

In Picture Past, we head for the hard shoulder, celebrating roadside rescues and the unsung heroes who keep journeys moving. Our Postcards section sends dispatches from Epoqu’Auto in France, the streets of Athens, and the Futuro House – because sometimes the most interesting stories happen well away from the driveway.

There’s reassessment too. Six of the best Spanish Renaults get their moment in the sun, while persistent horror stories surrounding rust on the Alfa Romeo Alfasud and Lancia Beta are put under the microscope by Jon Burgess; myths separated from inconvenient truths.

Our readers roll in with a Mini 1000, a Renault Twingo GT and a genuine Pimp My Ride VW Polo. Add Celebrity Squares, Sheds Heaven, TRABM, our correspondents and a generous helping of period advertising, and issue 38 settles into its groove.

It’s the only classic car mag with Phil Collins, The Cheeky Girls and Will Hoy on the same page.

Enjoy the new issue.
