We have assembled a collection of Italian cars content from the first 20 issues of Classic.Retro.Modern. magazine, along with fresh Italian period adverts, some new articles and features. If there's an Italian car fan in your family or amongst your friends, this bookazine will be right up their street.

It brings together all of the essential elements that you love about Classic.Retro.Modern. in a thicker, heavier, top-quality 132-page bookazine.

*** IMPORTANT INFORMATION ***

We have received a few copies of the bookazine from the printers that have a print problem on pages 122 to 124, a feature on the Turin 1971 motor show. The text is harder to read than it should be on those pages only. The remaining 128 pages of the Bookazine are absolutely perfect and even if we do say so ourselves, it's a beautiful product. Rather than pulping these imperfect bookazines and adding to the global warming problems, we are giving readers an opportunity to buy the bookazine with the print issues present at a reduced rate of £5, which is half the usual price. You never know, it might even become collectible in the future.

Available to order now for £5 plus P&P to UK addresses only. The cost of the Bookazine without the print imperfections is £10 plus P&P and can be bought here.

For our editor, a serial Capri owner and self-confessed fanboy, it was a trip down memory lane and an opportunity to reflect on his decision to sell a 280 just before prices went stratospheric. Better to have loved and lost, etc. Although just one of his old Capris would now be worth more than the contents of his barn, which is laid bare in the latest Autobarn.

Elsewhere in this issue, Tim Pitt drives a Rolls-Royce Corniche with a hint of the Lynx Eventer, Dimitri Urbain explores four Alpine models from across the world, and Andy Peckham shines a light on a car that screams 1930s opulence but was built in the 1980s. Oh, and our editor also attempts to drive in a straight line in a modern classic.

If that’s not enough, Antony Ingram sends a postcard from the Fuji Motorsports Museum in Japan, Steve Swanson does the same from Palm Springs, Alex Wakefield buys a Renault Laguna, and Rich Duisberg shares his love of C. That’s C as in Volkswagen’s old trim level.

Regulars include Picture Past, Obscuriosity and Ignition, while new features for issue 40 include News at Then with Trevor MacPherson, Meanwhile and And Finally. We also celebrate the return of Kicking Tyres, which features the scribbled auction notes from our man on the ground.

All of this and much, much more in the magazine you always promised yourself.

Enjoy the new issue.

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.
