Once again we’ve a diverse selection of feature cars in this edition, headed by our cover car, an E36 BMW M3 that’s gone from one of the most potent nineties coupes on Irish roads to a full-on sprint and hillclimb competitor. The April to June 2023 issue of Retro Classics is now on sale at good newsagents nationwide, or direct from us by ordering online quickly and conveniently. RETRO CLASSICS ISSUE 49 APRIL – JUNE 2023 Our featured motorbike is a 1986 Suzuki GSX1000 EF that was seriously cutting-edge in the mid-eighties, while our commercial feature tells the long-running restoration tale of an extremely rare Austin A35 pickup, one of less than 500 ever built. It’s now been completely restored to a simply stunning level, ready for the classic shows.
Moving to tractors, this month’s featured beauty is a very distinctive yellow 1991 Massey Ferguson 399 that’s actually been that colour from new, as it worked at an airport in Scotland in its early life. Our second featured car is another very uncommon machine, a 1937 Triumph Gloria Southern Cross sports car that’s been in the same ownership since 1990, and has recently been restored as a very special Father’s Day present!
Heading up the May 2023 issue of Irish Vintage Scene is a fascinating American classic that’s hardly remembered today – the DeSoto brand was popular across the Atlantic throughout the thirties, forties and fifties, but lost ground in t he late fifties against stiff competition and was axed by parent company Chrysler in 1961, making the 1956 Firedome V8 featured this month a rare sight.
