Gracing the cover is a stunning 1974 Porsche 911 Targa that’s been modified into a pre-’73-style hot-rod, complete with 3.2 Carrera engine on ITBs and a whole host of unique touches.

Further into the mag, we showcase one of the craziest customs we’ve come across in a long time – this Ford Cortina P100 pickup was literally saved from the scrap truck, before being transformed into a one-off American-style cruiser with a BMW turbo-diesel under the bonnet! We also look at a rare 1986 Honda Civic Si, celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the Lancia Thema and get up close with a Mk3 Capri that’s been bestowed with turbocharged Cosworth YB power.

Event reports in this issue come from Classic Fest ’24, Old School New School, Cultra Hillclimb, the Donegal Rally and Stormont Classic Car Show, our regular detailing guide advises you how to correctly store your classic for the winter, and we take a look back at the often-quirky car ads of decades past, so don’t miss out!
