> magazine editor Gary Anderson has agreed to be editor of the new
> publication.

> The April/May issue of British Car will be the last one to carry the old

> they will be the first to receive this new and expanded publication.
>
> This marriage will provide to British Car readers more tech features, the
> project cars Grassroots Motorsports has become famous for, car show and
> vintage race event coverage while still maintaining the flavor that
> British Car readers have come to expect. Grassroots Motorsport will remain
> exactly the same, except for slightly less coverage of cars from the
> Fifties. The first project cars planned for the new publication include an
> MG Midget and Porsche 911 that will be restored for the street and vintage
> race MGA and Triumph TR3 project cars.

> While there will be some fundamental differences between the two
> publications, this will effectively give Grassroots Motorsports readers
> another bi-monthly fix. You can order a subscription to this new
> publication on our web store www.grassrootsmotorsports.com at the special
> introductory rate of $19.95 for Grassroots Motorsports readers.
>
> More information will be posted as we get things finalized. We will post
