Rare & Unique Vehicles is a quarterly magazine dedicated to showcasing some of the most fascinating and lesser-known vehicles from automotive history.

Launched in 2021, the publication covers a wide variety of rare cars, motorcycles, trucks, and even buses, often focusing on specific themes in each issue, such as 'Streamlining', 'Alternative Power', or 'Coachbuilding'.

Its content is curated by a global team of automotive historians and experts, providing deep insights into the stories behind these unique machines.

Publishing and editing the magazine is Dr Pal Negyesi, who is a renowned motoring historian and an auto industry market researcher.

Each issue includes detailed articles, historical features, and rich photography, emphasising not just the vehicles themselves but also the cultural and technological contexts in which they were created.

The magazine is well-regarded for both its high-quality production and thoroughness, making it a favourite among serious historic vehicle enthusiasts and collectors.

The very first issue was a deep dive into the world of streamlining since the beginnings of the automobile. This was followed by an issue devoted fully to mini and microcars.

The third issue was a special on coachbuilders, the fourth on custom specials and the fifth on the age-old fascination regarding speed and fast cars.

The sixth issue was on alternative power and the seventh issue on the cars that were first a new idea or concept. The eight issue was on the importance of provenance and the ninth on elegance.

The magazine's recent themes have included 'Women' in its Summer 2024 issue, which featured pioneering female figures in the automotive world, and 'Celebration' in Winter 2024, which highlighted milestones in automotive innovation, including landmark designs and iconic models.

For those interested in deep dives into automotive history, Rare & Unique Vehicles offers both print and digital subscriptions, with back issues and special bundles available for purchase online.

If you would like to pick up the entire set of past issues at one go, it is possible. The Mega-Bundle is now called Collector's Edition and it is available for €160 for all 16 issues which have been published until now (Rare & Unique Vehicles Magazine – Fascinating Aspects of Automotive History – Every Quarter).
