Everyone greatly admired Bart Vanderveen the editor and author of WHEELS &
TRACKS magazine, and when he died, that magazine closed down. I have the
full set.
:-)
A couple of magazines have now started up in the UK.

London,
W1T 3EX
Tel 020-7396 8000
Fax: 0207-7396 8002
(if phoning from North America, check phone procedure, country code and I
think you drop the first 0 of the numbers)
In North America, same distribution agent as the above: Wiseowl Other
agents in Australia and Holland.
Both of the above are monthly magazines.
Some differences between the above two magazines and "Wheel and Tracks":
1. Monthly rather than quarterly.
2. Stores usually return unsold issues so it is harder to get back issues.
3. In W&T almost all articles were written by Bart Vanderveen. These
magazines have articles by many authors.
4. These magazines have lots of colour photos.
A British slant of course, especially the buy and sell stuff, but they cover
vehicles from all over the world. German, British, American, Soviet etc.Old
and new. Good coverage of the huge European shows and events. Lots of ads by
British and European surplus vehicle dealers.
