Back in 1988, I was just out of school and working for Eagle Star Insurance in London, dreaming about doing what I\u2019m so lucky to be able to do today.<\/p>\n<p>Every Wednesday on my way home from work, I\u2019d head to WH Smith at Cannon Street Station looking for my weekly car fix. Then one day, a bright, fresh newcomer turned up \u2013 Auto Express was born. I remember it well and loved it from day one.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--Nxg8-R6n--\/f_auto,t_related-embed-mobile@1\/v1695756482\/autoexpress\/2023\/09\/Auto%20Express%20issue%201%2C799.jpg\">We celebrate our 35th anniversary in this week\u2019s Auto Express<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Over the past three and a half decades, the car world has changed immeasurably. Our brilliant cover stars on this week&#x27;s special issue shows how far the cars themselves have come, while in that time car companies have been and gone. One brand that features on the cover, MG, is a fine example: it\u2019s gone, come back, gone and come back again. Now it\u2019s in rude health.<\/p>\n<p>When we launched, the MG badge adorned Metros, Maestros and Montegos. Now, with MG under Chinese ownership, the company is about to launch the stunning Cyberster \u2013 and we\u2019ve been on the road in it.<\/p>\n<p>One person who was there at the start and is with us now is Mike Rutherford, while another almost ever-present is the real hero of Auto Express, our picture editor Dawn Grant. Without Dawn\u2019s organisation, cajoling, support, knowledge and sheer brilliance, this magazine wouldn\u2019t have survived 35 years. Thanks, Dawn.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there have been plenty of other incredible staff and contributors over that time \u2013 all legends in their own ways \u2013 plus the awesome team we have today. I\u2019d like to pay tribute to and thank every one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Most important to what we do is you. Whether you\u2019ve been subscribing for 35 years, buy the magazine regularly or are visiting our website for the first time, thank you. It\u2019s you, your love of cars and the passion and expertise you share that makes our anniversary so special. Here\u2019s to the next 35 years.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click here to subscribe to Auto Express now for just \u00a31&#8230;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/opinion\/361064\/auto-express-broke-mould-1988-and-still-leads-way-today\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Editor-in-chief Steve Fowler celebrates everything that has made the last 35 years of Auto Express so great How things have changed in the last 35 <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/yourclomid.com\/auto-news\/auto-express-broke-the-mould-in-1988-and-still-leads-the-way-today\/\" title=\"\u201cAuto Express broke the mould in 1988 and still leads the way today\u201d\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
