Mini Cooper but covers a few other models too. its a spread over a few pages iirc.

Although be prepared for the experts to pick it to pieces.

Thx. I'll check out p.137 too, if I get the mag. a bit busy but knowing its mini and not MINI inspires me a bit more. :wink:

Do people still buy it? I gave up on Unique Cars many years ago. All the ads are online anyway.

Cheers

Which is why they are increasing their editorial content, to attract more readers who are interested in reading about classic cars, not just buying and selling.

Cheers,
Watto.

I quite like Unique Cars because they are not stuck to any one type
of car. They will feature anything from Hot Rods, vintage cars to future classics.
The adds are also interesting to scan through ... more of curiosity thing for me.
But it does seem that most punters in the mag overprice themselves.
It's a shame that somehow we couldn't get the actual price they sell for ....If they sell.

Check ou the ebay completed listings or the Shannons auction results to get a good idea of the market will pay.

I just got tired of Unique Cars and Austrlian Classic Car mags as the articles were shallow & lacking detail, photos were upside down etc, and I could read them in 15 minutes! Not good value in my book.

The only car mags i get now are Collectible Automobile (USA), Automobile (UK) and of course my sub to TBMCE, plus the odd Restored Cars mag.

I agree with the above, the mag has changed a lot in recent times and instead of just being a for sale type magazine there are now lots of good articles in it to read and a good cross sections of classic cars, I buy it every month and thoroughly enjoy it, a lot better than some of the crap mags out there.
