In general, its just a magazine with loads of pictures. Thats ok if your into a quick flick and nothing else to do, so most people will not buy due to being bad value.
I realised when looking for a mag in the airport that a lot of the modern journalism, do not really write much, so not worth purchasing. Just take a look back at a "Car and Car conversions" from the 70's or 80's, actually full, small text, pages of information, something you actually have to read, and not in 5 mins.
How about in-depth info, interviews with old school guys, some real journalism, O yes, thats takes time, something we all seem to have less of these days..

The problem i've found with both Classic Ford and Retro Ford is that there are far too many modified cars, i'd prefer a more even split between modified and standard. I loved Ford Heritage magazine from the mid 90's I would like to see that make a return in its original format.

These days I tend to only buy Practical Classics as it's getting better and better and keeps adding new features/ideas to keep it fresh.
