malsal. I really like Classic and Sportscars from the UK. about  $12 here.. but well worth it.  Mini World is total waste of good beer money..

I am pretty sure Books a Million is out of business down here, at least our local one is long gone.
I have not seen either MM or MW at Barnes and Noble for a long time either and to be honest when they got to nearly $12 a piece with tax and got so repetitive on the articles (to be expected i guess) i stopped looking for them.
I usually get a few copies picked up before and when i visit the UK.
I actually enjoy reading Classic car weekly.

malsal. I think I saw that in the  Sunday London Times..  but why would you keep TWO classic minis mags ?? so little interest in last five years for classic minis.... I know you  NEVER get any calls for classic minis anymore, either..   but get lots and lots for MOKEs..  I tried to get MINI MAG script for years..  seems spotty at best. or you get three in one day some times. and then none for months..  I gave up on them..  Mini World is easy to buy at Books A Million.  or Barnes and Noble. in almost any major city..  later bc

I second this. Mini Magazine's North American distribution was spotty (and now non-existant as far as I can tell.) It was available until 2005 in a few places like Hastings, disappeared, then Barnes and Noble had it from 2008 - 2010, then it disappeared again and I've never been able to find it in the USA since, nor in Canada. When I visited Heritage Garage last summer, I saw to my delight they had issues of Mini Magazine on display and rushed in to snap up as many issues as possible - only to find even they were only displaying old issues dating back to 2010 and earlier.

As customer feedback, I would also say that Mini Magazine has a major weakness in their web presence. Try to order back issues. Try to find their website (unless they've shifted everything to Facebook, which I don't frequent.)

I remember trying to order back issues a few years ago, and hitting nothing but errors or redirects to a online subscription service covering many other magazines. And web searches bring up a parenting magazine, even MiniWorld, but not Mini Magazine dedicated to Classic Minis. I personally would suggest that Mini Magazine's marketing arm take a hard look at their web presence and sales mechanisms.
Aren't MM and MW owned by the same parent company now ?

Color is Mazda " Mariner Blue" quite nice, looks like the same color as the California "69" plate.

The front is not extended.

Probably an illusion due to the roof being chopped

Yeah, we're still going Bill - and actually increasing circulation, something that is unheard of in the current magazine market.

Looking for Nov 06 Mini Magazine, I was told the 69 Mini I just bought was featured in this issue.

Anyone saved your old copy?
