Last of the first

We kick off our Cobra celebration on p82, when our Greg MacLeman gets behind the wheel of this AC 289 Sports. The last of the original Cobra line, our man makes the case for it being quite possibly the best, too.

But don’t think we’re done there. Then it’s time to check out four distinctively different successors…

Formal finery

For a complete change of pace, flick to p104 of the February 2022 C&SC, as Martin Buckley samples two luxury classic cars that wafted into the post-war era with supreme confidence.

The Mercedes-Benz 300 and Bentley S-series go about the task in different ways, and neither disappoints.

Biturbo brilliance

Some cars’ reputations precede them and the allegedly wayward, frightening, even, Maserati Shamal is one such car.

But does it deserve it? Richard Heseltine braces himself to find out and separate fact from fiction.

Coming of age

Also in the February 2022 C&SC, the ‘luxury’ Citroën 2CV takes on the Renault 4 in a battle of everyday French classics that’s only getting more charming with every passing year.

That both were still being built until the 1990s, is a remarkable testament to their enduring appeal.

These features and many more are in our latest magazine, plus our regular news and views, historic motorsport round-up, industry insight and auction updates.

Our February 2022 issue is out now! Get a single magazine here or subscribe here. Alternatively you can read our digital edition, either bundled with the magazine or on its own here, or find the magazine on apps such as Readly, Exact Editions and Zinio.

We hope you enjoy it.
