Practical Classics, started in 1980, is a magazine written in Peterborough, England about classic cars. It focuses on affordable classic cars for the man in the street, as well as more expensive and exotic classic cars that have now become affordable. Colloquially known to its fans and detractors alike as Craptical Plastics[1] or simply Practically Clapped, it has always had a strong emphasis on DIY and showing the skills and tools that are needed for restoration, maintenance and repairs. The editorial staff all have old cars that they work to keep running, often to comic effect. They feature a price guide and buyer's guides to specific models. They also report on numbers of cars on UK roads. Bauer Consumer Media, publishers of Practical Classics, claim an ABC audited circulation of 57,758 (July-December 2008).[2]
