The new issue of Swiss Classics magazine has been published and will be available at newsstands from Monday. From this issue onwards, Swiss Classics will be published six times a year instead of the previous four.
The new issue 41-1/2014 once again contains interesting articles and news from the world of classic cars.
The almost forgotten Martini brand
Martini built its first motor vehicles in Frauenfeld back in the 19th century, and many more were to follow until 1934, when the company came to an end. Ferdinand Hediger tells the story of the famous Swiss car manufacturer in two parts, illustrated with many historical pictures; the second chapter will follow in issue 2/2014 of Swiss Classics.
Swiss police vehicles
The report on two historic police vehicles - the VW Beetle and the Volvo 144 - is a real treasure, not least because of the almost legendary pictures taken by police photographer Arnold Odermatt. You also learn a lot about the equipment and history of the now 40-year-old police cars.
The interesting Healey Silverstone
The article about the particularly rare Healey Silverstone focuses on the experiences and insights of Marco Trevisan, who has had the Healey virus in his blood since a young age and knows a lot about all Healey models. Historical photos and explanations of the differences between the various models round off the article.
The current issue also contains reports on the Citroën DS, the out-of-print book "Kompressoren am Berg" by Bernhard Brägger and, of course, lots of other current and retrospective information on classic cars.
