And the Best of Show at the inaugural Bahrain Royal Concours 2025 is… the ex-Shah of Iran 1972 Lamborghini Miura SV of Dr Khalid M. Abdulrahim. This car was lost for 12 years following the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Years later it was brought to market by Miura expert Simon Kidston. Its full restoration has just been completed in Italy, overseen by Lamborghini’s famous test driver Valentino Balboni - who drove it away from the stage, revving its V12 as enthusiastically as ever.

Magneto issue 28 is here -- and it's a good one.

You might have missed this, but it's 100 years since the first foundation stones were laid for what became the Nürburgring Nordschleife. We've celebrated that with a series of stunning images, a fascinating history by Georg Kacher and some hair-raising recollections of Nürburging action from past and current racers.

Plus features on the Baillon barn-find Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder, Graham Hill’s wackiest racers, the Italdesign Aztec concept, the de Rothschilds’ Hispano-Suiza K6 and J12, a tribute to Ercole Spada, our Top 50 Homologation Specials – and much, much more!

Issue 28 is available to order at www.magnetomagazine.com while stocks last.

Born from the Gruppe B study and culminating in Komfort and Sport series production, the 959 rewrote the supercar rulebook: four-wheel drive, self-levelling suspension, adjustable ride height, sequential turbos, ABS, run-flat tyres and Kevlar. Not just an ‘ultimate 911’ – an icon.

Magneto magazine

Magneto is produced by the very best, most knowledgeable writers and most creative photographers, printed beautifully on high-quality paper. It features the most important and interesting cars, events and people, serving up unmissable content at a quality never before seen in the collector car world. If only the best cars will do, then only Magneto will do as your magazine of choice.

Magneto was created by David Lillywhite, Award winning editor and one of the most experienced classic car editors in the world, and Geoff Love, one of the foremost publishers in the sector.

David started in motoring media in 1992, the perfect outlet for his knowledge and enthusiasm for collector cars old and new. After time on Practical Classics, Classic Cars, Bike and a period as a freelance writer and consultant, in 2003 he co-founded Octane magazine. David stayed with Octane to its height in summer 2017, by which time he had become editorial director, overseeing not just Octane but also new launches Vantage (Aston Martin) and Enzo (Ferrari). In 2017 he became launch editor of AutoClassics.com which, in a few short months, became a global marketplace for classic cars and a trusted authority for the latest news and features. As Editorial Director for Hothouse Media, David is responsible for delivering the best content across a wide range of publications, events, and websites

Geoff joined the Automotive division of EMAP as publishing director before launching Octane as MD in 2003. The subsequent success and sale of Octane to Dennis Publishing led Geoff to become a director at Dennis, where he was responsible for the digital transformation of Evo, as well as leading a number of acquisitions and the launch of the International Historic Motoring Awards and Vantage magazine. A move to The Motorsport Network saw Geoff as president of their European Automotive Division and MD of Autosport Media, and subsequently CEO of AutoClassics.com. Now he’s heading up Hothouse Media, the publishing company behind Magneto.
