In the September 2025 issue of Practical Classics, we mark 75 years of Formula 1 with an epic road trip from the venues that hosted it in the UK – from Aintree to Donington Park to Silverstone and Brand’s Hatch – in classics with a connection to motorsport.
There’s a trip down Memory Lane to 1976 Portsmouth, the tale of the restoration of a Dodge Spacevan TV license detector vehicle, a Subaru Brat revival, and a head-to-head between the Renault Clio 16v and Ford Fiesta XR2i.
We meet the man who still owns his first car – a Vauxhall Chevette – and get gooey eyed over a bunch of classic Alfa Romeos. At our workshop, our team of writers show off their project cars – from Morris Minor and 2CV to MGF, Austin Maxi and Fiat 500. Plus, tech tips on misfires and removing badges to advice on applying for tax and MOT exemption.
