We had lots of very positive comments on social media after our last issue’s return to a 100-page format, so thank you to everyone who took the trouble to get in touch. The even better news this time, however, is that not only are we improving the quality of our paper with immediate effect, the issue you’re holding right now is a page special – and it’s packed with some amazing cars and plenty of top advice. Whether you’re in the market for your first Rolls-Royce or Bentley, or you’re thinking of increasing the size of your existing fleet, I hope this special issue provides you with plenty of help and ideas. We’ve highlighted the models that we think are the best buys right now, and we’ve talked to experts in the trade to get their take on buying the finest examples. We’ve got buying advice on the ideal ‘starter’ classics for those new to Rolls-Royce and Bentley, and we take a look at some of the best-value pre-war options. One of the most rewarding aspects of working on Rolls-Royce & Bentley Driver is the resolute loyalty of our readers, as well as those independent specialists who support us through advertising. Publishing has gone through a difficult twelve months, yet this much-loved title has come through in a very strong position. So, a heartful thank you to every reader who’s stuck by us.
