Classic & Sports Car – Dawn of the supercar: Inside the November 2018 issue of C&SC

Summer might be over, but we’re powering into autumn with a packed – and very varied – issue of Classic & Sports Car.

We always like to think there’s something for everyone and this month that’s definitely true!

Inside, you'll find everything from supercars to microcars, from Carry On classics to a little-known roadster.

Plus, we pay tribute to much-missed historics ace Barrie ‘Whizzo’ Williams, who sadly passed away last month.

The supercar is born

Well this is an enviable trio: Lamborghini Miura SV, Ferrari 365GTB/4 Daytona and De Tomaso Mangusta.

Martin Buckley is the lucky chap who puts these three back-to-back, tracing the roots of the supercar.

His heart might be with the Daytona, but will this still be the case after time in the Miura and Mangusta?

Small is mighty

For something completely different, join us this issue as a 38-strong band of microcars takes on a Liège-Brescia-Liège rally.

We’re talking BMW Isettas, Berkeley SE328s, SE492s and B95s, Trabant P601s, FMR Tg500s and more.

Happy birthday to the Jaguar XJ

This year has been a big one for anniversaries, but we couldn’t miss paying particular tribute to a Great British icon, the Jaguar XJ, which hits its half century in 2018.

It might be hard to believe that the XJ is 50, but it’s still the finest saloon ever built, says Martin Buckley, falling in love all over again.

Enjoy this trip down memory lane – and a reminder of how good these cars still are.

Stunning survivor

Think you’ve seen every classic car? Maybe you’ll need to think again.

Richard Heseltine meets the beguiling Moretti 2300S, one of just two examples known to exist.

Once you’ve been won over by its jaw-dropping lines, dive in and discover the story behind this super-rare roadster.

Delight in the imperfect

Speaking of rare, this month we’ve got a car that will be familiar to many – but unfamiliar at the same time.

This Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint prototype really is like nothing else.

Turn to page 116 as Mick Walsh delves into the history of this car and learns why its recent, meticulous restoration was far from straightforward.
