Anybody can write a story about two ‘old stagers’ (though the Mini was only 18yrs old here), but how many magazines can create a cover like this?
Just CAR.
It takes creative genius to convince & develop such a cover & it’s a testament to the magazine’s roll call of great Art Editors (in the case Wendy Harrop) & Richard Davies (who was responsible for the cover).
This looks as good today as when it was fresh on the newsstand…

@thecarfactoids my favourite of all the automotive publications. I’ve read every issue since I was in middle school.
@stuffaboutcars @thecarfactoids I still have that very issue along with several others of the era. They are an absolute joy to read even if you have very little interest in cars. The publisher should make the archive widely available. It’s a goldmine.

@stuffaboutcars They are a joy to read & every issue has multiple stories that justify the price.

When I got the magazine every month it was a definite highlight…
