In the July 2025 edition of Practical Classics magazine, we celebrate Father’s Day by getting our dads together to look at the cars they wish they could have bought! From a Rover P5B and MGB to Citroën SM and Rover Vitesse, we get the full story on each – and then hit the road to the west country where Danny and James visit a bunch of England’s most unique motoring museums.
Meanwhile, we bring you tales of father-son restorations and classic revivals – from a Bond Equipe and Mini Clubman to a Morris Minor Convertible. The Jaguar XJ6 goes up against the Range Rover P38 in a head-to-head test, while there’s a battle of the 1980s turbocharged classics – from MG Maestro Turbo to Mitsubishi Starion.
There are two essential guides this month – one about buying a Peugeot 405 and the other on how best to get your hands on a Lotus Esprit S1-S3. Plus, at the Practical Classics workshop, we’re getting dirty with an Alfa 147, Renault Clio, Austin Seven, Morris Minor, Hotchkiss Gregoire and a 2CV, while there’s advice on seized brakes, small electric motors and alternator upgrades. No other magazine does this much!
