Volume 23
A$49.99

Retromotive Magazine, Volume 23, is a love letter to cars with character—the ones that clunk, whirr, bark, and make you smile. Or, as our editor puts it, it’s a tribute to “that noise… that sense of mechanical occasion.”

Stories featured in this issue:

  • BMW 2000 CS — the coach-built Neue Klasse coupé with Hofmeister kink flair.

  • Lancia Flaminia Sport Zagato 3C — the triple-carb “3C” evolution announced in 1962, elegance with real pace.

  • 1986 Buick Grand National — the intercooled V6 era that turned a blacked-out Regal into an ’80s cult hero.

  • Porsche 911: History & Future — from air-cooled chaos to VTG turbos, PDK, and today’s performance-focused hybrid step.

  • Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II — 502-unit homologation icon with real aero and DTM-winning pedigree.

  • Lamborghini at 60 — from Ferruccio’s 1963 factory to Audi-era investment, carbon-fibre leadership and the road to electrification.

  • Audi 80 Variant (1968) — the understated wagon that reset Audi’s future with a modern four-stroke, FWD layout.


Real stories, honest engineering and great photography.

Volume 22
A$49.99

Volume 22 of Retromotive Magazine isn’t just another issue—it’s our 60-year salute to an all-time icon: the Ford Mustang.

Inside this special edition:

  • The Mustang Effect — how one car became a cultural movement and turned Ford showrooms into rock concerts.

  • Ford Mustang Milano — the forgotten Italian-styled concept that looked like it escaped from a 1970s disco future.

  • 60 Years of Mustang — from the bucket-seated revolution of 1964½ to today’s snarling 500hp Dark Horse, every generation gets its moment to shine.

  • Bruno Sacco Tribute — celebrating the genius behind Mercedes-Benz’s most iconic shapes.

  • BMW M1 — racing glory, corporate chaos, and one of the most misunderstood supercars ever built.

  • SAS “Pink Panther” Land Rovers—why Britain’s elite painted desert patrol trucks matte pink, how they were modified and used, and how the lineage ran from WWII jeeps to modern DPVs. A concise history of an unlikely icon and its enduring mystique.

  • Plus: a look at what classic cars mean to Gen Z, Millennials getting their hands dirty (surprisingly), and a reflection on the future of car culture.
