Happy birthday to our friends at @Motor_Sport from one old mag to another!
With the new issue, we celebrate our 94th birthday! 😱 We're older than television, the jet engine, and the freezer... 👴 94 years old, and still going strong. Take a look at our first ever cover: bit.ly/2OliwAD

I still can't quite believe that this car remains on the road today – especially given that just six (yes, six!) examples were sold! @Autocar @AutocarClassic autocar.co.uk/car-news/anyth…

Found this in a 1991 issue of @autocar & Motor. Wonder how it worked? Care to elaborate @TopGearWoollard ?

Do cars run better at night? Apparently so: "The herbage and foliage give off certain gases at nightfall which act on the fuel mixture and in consequence we get an increase of power". From @autocar 7 December 1907

Who wants to read about a car whose "frameless windows bow out, leaving a substantial gap from the rubber seal"? autocar.co.uk/car-news/anyth… @autocar @AutocarClassic

The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 underwent @autocar's 0-100-0 mph Challenge at Santa Pod in 1991. A telling line in @Andrew_Frankel's article: "Power is enormous: 380bhp and 375lb ft". Compare that with today! #cars #Chevrolet
