Classic Car Weekly is a British car newspaper published by the Bauer Media Group.
Launched in 1990 by Emap, [1] Classic Car Weekly comes out weekly on a Wednesday, and majors on news and auction coverage, as well as running regular articles on buying, selling, maintaining and driving classic cars. The current editor is David Simister.
It is a newsprint A3-sized publication, and primarily carries a mixture of private-seller advertising and editorial articles. From 2002 to the end of 2009 the title was published under licence by Kelsey Publishing, [1] Bauer Media, which had bought EMAP's consumer magazines in the meantime, took it back from Kelsey at the end of 2009. Classic Car Weekly is now one of a group of UK motoring titles published by Bauer, including Practical Classics, Land Rover Owner , Car, Car Mechanics , Classic Cars, and Modern Classics. Kelsey responded by launching its own weekly competitor, Classic Car Buyer.
The newspaper's average reader owns two classic cars, but also aims to be the first port of call for traders and private owners looking to buy or sell classic cars, and is also used for the latest information about the classic car market and for details of classic cars. [2]
The following sections regularly appear in Classic Car Weekly every Wednesday: This Week, Out and About, Living With Classics, Buying and Selling
Classic Car Weekly won the Automotive Consumer Publication award at the 2017 Newspress Awards. [3]
