Motor magazine to close

Wheels Media recently announced that after 68 years, Motor magazine is to be closed. The July issue will be the last.

Someone needs to update the website.

MOTOR is now in a stronger position than at any point in its recent history. We continue with the printed page not because we have to, but because we want to. It’s an integral part of who we are and it reaches a different customer with different motivations than online journalism. What’s more, the magazine is growing in size, with better quality paper and a bigger editorial budget to bring both retail and subscription buyers alike a truly premium experience.

Fun fact: old issues of Motor magazine sell well, and for a good price, online.

    On my subscription to MOTOR if the next edition is the last, I will be short 10 magazines until my subscription ends. How will they resolve this guessing it will be the same for many others? No good offering to cover the shortfall with WHEELS magazine as I already subscribe to that.
