Don't miss our latest issue, on sale tomorrow! Including @Kevin_McCloud on the importance of classics, the latest on what DVLA changes mean for restos, an MGB GT that's only done 1865 miles and why so many of you (still) love the Triumph TR6...

Chuffed to find out that I've been shortlisted for the Editor of the Year – Motoring category of this year's @bsmeinfo awards.

But it wouldn't be possible without the hard graft, talent, and expertise from everyone involved in @ClassicCarWkly - a huge thank you to you all!

[David Simister @David_Simister]

Honoured to be at the @bsmeinfo awards tonight after @ClassicCarWkly was shortlisted in the Motoring Editor of the Year category. Huge congrats to @GinnyBuckley for a very well deserved win, and congrats to my colleague Emma Franklin of @MCNnews for being shortlisted too!

Just love this 1954 Alfa Romeo AR51 being auctioned by @Historics next weekend. Much cooler than a Series I Landie, and one of only three believed to be in the UK... #alfaromeo #4x4

Over the moon to win the Motoring Editor of the Year award in tonight's @bsmeinfo awards. My wonderful wife @NatSimister is currently in hospital so I've not been able to head down to London for the ceremony, but this definitely cheered both of us up!

#SouthportTogether

[Classic Car Weekly @ClassicCarWkly]

All of us at CCW were shocked and appalled by the terrible events in #Southport earlier this week.

That's why we've decided to team up with Aintree Circuit Club to raise funds at the Southport Classic & Speed show for the families and affected...

Heartbroken and horrified by what happened in Southport earlier today. As a parent and a Sandgrounder my thoughts are with all those affected by this tragic event ☹️

We've got a great selection starting to rock up for the first Coffee & Cars Wythall event. Keep an eye out for a full report in CCW...

[Classic Car Weekly @ClassicCarWkly]

We’re over the moon with the latest news! Automotive Consumer Publication in the #NewspressAwards2024 A glowing report on the title and the excellent work of our team putting it together week in week out!

@spinal_capped Good thing I went to the @BMMuseum over the weekend!

[David Simister @David_Simister]

Hey @AvantiWestCoast, any chance you can make your on-board WiFi as fast as your trains?

It's pretty much unusable on the 09:30 out of Euston, sadly...

[Classic Car Weekly @ClassicCarWkly]

We have a packed issue out this week including a fitting tribute to the late Harris Mann.

Further to that, we have a packed spread of news, a dive into 50 years of Caterham, a buying guide for the Daimler V8 and a preview of this weekend’s Silverstone Festival.

Get yours now!

[David Simister @David_Simister]

My whip last weekend. Very much enjoyed the Jeep Compass 4xe's looks, comfort, and bags of character, but rather less enamoured by the fidgety ride, dim-witted auto, lack of boot space and £43k price tag...

[Classic Car Weekly @ClassicCarWkly]

Our latest issue is out and we’re getting set for the August Bank Holiday with a bumper issue!

Rammed with adventures, tips, books, roads, buys and your stories, there’s plenty to enjoy in this latest edition: so be sure to grab a copy now!

STOLEN - PLEASE SHARE ⚠️

This Sierra Sapphire Cosworth was stolen, along with van & trailer from the Hilton in Doncaster yesterday at 2am.

Most worryingly, the rig was in a ‘secure’ car park with a security barrier & CCTV.

If you see or hear anything, please call the police!

The North. Coffee. Steam locomotives. Real ale. My kinda day out...
