MOTORs writing sees a line-up of local and international journalists including David Morley, Paul Cockburn, Michael Taylor, and Nathan Ponchard under the editorship of Andrew MacLean.
MOTOR magazine was originally published as Modern Motor from its inaugural issue in May 1954, the name derived from the publishing house that produced it, Modern Magazines. Colloquially, the title was abbreviated to Motor, and subsequently the word 'Modern' was dropped from the title to become simply MOTOR in 1992.
