Vintage Racecar - Journal & Market Report VJR is a monthly publication out of the US and covers International racing history, vintage and historic racecars and events. The regular columns are very good with likes of Mike Lawrence, Pete Lyons, Eoin Young, Chris Nixon etc. Each issue tends to be thematic and structured enough for it to be a very useful reference tool as well. The photographs are very good and coverage of events in the US and beyond is excellent for a magazine that spans an average of just over 70 pages per issue. The Inter View section is excellent, and has covered personalities as diverse as Vern Shuppan to Robert Daley. There's an added bonus of a Market Guide in each issue - covering a particular class of race cars with values and short descriptions of the classes they raced.
