In partnership with Haymarket Media Group, Exact Editions has now made available the full digital archive of Classic & Sports Car to institutional and individual subscribers. The world’s best-selling classic car magazine, Classic & Sports Car is an essential read for enthusiasts buying, maintaining, restoring, racing or simply dreaming about classic cars.

Classic & Sports Car covers everything from mainstream favourites such as MGBs and Jaguar E-types to one-offs, prototypes and great racers from around the world. With thousands of cars for sale each month, it’s also the world’s leading marketplace for anyone buying or selling a classic car.

With its full digital archive stretching back to 1982, subscribers can now browse and search more than four decades of issues including special collectors’ editions. Highlights in the magazine’s 43-year archive include a road test of the spectacular Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa (1982), a race between a Bugatti Type 51 and Stampe SV4C biplane (1984), driving the original Batmobile along the New Jersey Turnpike (1989), as well as coverage of the infamous – and expensive – restoration of Rowan Atkinson’s McLaren F1 (2013).

Researchers and enthusiasts alike can seamlessly access past issues using Exact Editions’ comprehensive search function across web, iOS and Android platforms. Institutional subscriptions are also authenticated site-wide, with comprehensive remote access options.
