Practical Classics: Buy - restore - drive - enjoy

Practical Classics is Britain's Best Selling Hands-on Classic Car magazine with a 30-year tradition of delivering the very best hands-on advice and classic car experiences to its readers.

We are the most practical classic car magazine in the UK with exclusive use of a fully kitted-out workshop, Practical Classics has the most authoritative technical voice of any publication and the most inspirational outlook - every contributor works on and restores their own classics and shares the experience (minus expletives) with the readers.

Every issue is also packed with rigorous buying advice, real-world product tests, inspirational classic driving features and fascinating historical insight.

Practical Classics is also a campaigning title - the only classic car magazine taking the concerns of classic car owners to parliament to fight draconian legislation and keep its readers' classics where they belong - on the road.

So come and join PC in the workshop - the kettle's on.
