The Road Rat Issue 20 is available now on loremnotipsum.com. A unique collaboration between the world’s most beautiful and respected car magazine and the makers of the world’s most desirable cars — Singer Vehicle Design. Creative director Guy Berryman interviews Singer founder Rob Dickinson, writer Jon Claydon follows up his definitive deconstruction of the GMA T.50 (Edition 18) with an elegiac analysis of the Singer appeal. Plus: all the romance of the Jeep Wagoneer, Maserati MC12, Rolls-Royce Camargue and the Ford Capri; the strange (and longer-than-you-think) history of the racing movie; and the cars of The Sopranos.
The Road Rat Magazine is the world’s most beautiful car magazine. The Road Rat is a new kind of car magazine. Not overly obsessed with the detail of old cars nor over-impressed with the performance of new; the Road Rat instead firmly believes there are good stories — real stories, stories to consume with relish — in both old and new and in racing too. But above all The Road Rat believes in the glory of magazines; lush, beautiful, valuable, collectable and exquisitely crafted magazines. Think of us as a carefully-curated bookshop or an horizon-widening record store. We are proudly analogue and believe some things – but mostly beautiful cars – just belong in print. Our name comes from a saying that climbers have. ’Feeding the Rat’ is the need to deal with an obesssive need to climb. For us an open road, a track, a messy old garage and not a snowy mountain summit, is our ‘rat’.
