Post (Modern) MOTOR Magazine : 1954 to 2022

I've been purchasing this magazine since the mid 1980s. The final edition has just been published. And what a disappointment - nothing about the history of the magazine.

Have read a few critiques of the management, seems they just lost the plot.
Just chased adverising revenue at the expense of content.

Seems to be a regular thing with magazine publishing over the last 10 years or so.
Chasing advertising to fill the pages instead of good editorial content.
