It is vacation time. For many of us that means a few extra pounds. They must of course be removed as quickly as possible afterwards. That AMK has become fatter is much better news. For example, the largest old-timer and young-timer magazine in the Netherlands and Belgium is growing from 132 to almost 150 pages and now offers even more to read about vintage cars and young-timers. The price remains the same, 2,70 for subscribers and 3.99 for single number buyers.
But what is happening now?
Unfortunately, the reason for that expansion is much less fun. These are turbulent times in publishing country. Moreover, after various government measures, it turned out that there was no longer any viability for the nicest youngtimer magazine in the Netherlands. Thus, before the appearance of a June / July issue, we had to take the plunge and pull the plug. But of course that was not possible without offering a nice alternative. That is why you will find a monthly section for Auto Motor Youngtimer from the September issue Auto Motor Klassiek. So an AMY in AMK.
With all the young-timer news that the AMY reader was already used to, but monthly. With history, interesting people and companies about the youngtimer in a distinctive section of enthusiasts before enthusiasts.
Deadline
Of course, the section youngtimers is not at the expense of the pages oldtimers. So as readers you now get even more for the same price.
The closing date for the September issue of Auto Motor Klassiek is Tuesday, August 12. AMK will be available to subscribers on Friday 29 August and in stores on Tuesday 2 September.
