NOTE: The Road Rat #20 arrives week beginning 28/04/25
The Road Rat is a fairly new journal that attempts – very successfully, we think – to overhaul the conventional model of the car magazine.
And we stress ‘overhaul’ rather trying soup the thing up. It’s less interested in technical detail and performance. The Road Rat instead firmly believes there are many interesting and untold stories located in both the past and the present, on the road and on the race track. And, most pleasingly, The Road Rat is a proudly analogue thing: a lush, beautiful, valuable, collectable and exquisitely crafted magazine.
About issue 20 from the publisher:
A unique collaboration between the world’s most beautiful and respected car magazine and the makers of the world’s most desirable cars — Singer Vehicle Design. Creative director Guy Berryman interviews Singer founder Rob Dickinson, writer Jon Claydon follows up his definitive deconstruction of the GMA T.50 (Edition 18) with an elegiac analysis of the Singer appeal. Plus: all the romance of the Jeep Wagoneer, Maserati MC12, Rolls-Royce Camargue and the Ford Capri; the strange (and longer-than-you-think) history of the racing movie; and the cars of The Sopranos.
