Roadster Magazine

We are utterly heartbroken to learn of the passing of Willson, a true legend in the motoring world and a beacon of support for emerging voices like ours.

Quentin was there for us at the very beginning - The very same day we launched our Twitter account and socialised Roadster! with the world back in December 2022 Quentin actively championed our mission to inspire and educate the next generation about cars, road safety, and the joy of driving.

His endorsement and belief in our project opened doors and gave us the courage to push forward, knowing we had the backing of someone who truly understood the importance of nurturing young minds.

Sam was extremely grateful to get to meet him in person last year.

Quentin's wit, wisdom, and unwavering passion for automobiles left an indelible mark on all who knew him and on the industry as a whole.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and the countless lives he touched. Rest in peace, Quentin. You will be deeply missed, but your impact will never be forgotten.

A repost of our Eddy Halloween comic from the Roadster! archives!

Happy Halloween everyone!

It's !

Something very dark is hiding deep in the vaults below Roadster Magazine Towers...

We've been creeping around down there and found this horror... an unpublished Eddy Halloween special created by our comic artist Richie T!

Open... if you dare!

ROADSTER'S HOBBY MODEL IS EXHAUSTED! (and that's a good thing!🚀)

(PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE THIS POST!)

For the last three years, Roadster Magazine has been a parent & child passion project— a unique, child-led connected learning platform proving that we can successfully connect the motor industry to the next generation through engaging child-focused educational content. We've produced regular issues, seen organic growth, and secured brilliant industry acclaim.

But to meet national demand and truly scale our educational impact, we've hit the wall of the volunteer-led model. We can't reach the children who need us most without a full-time, professional structure.

That's why we're moving to Phase 2: Professionalisation and Scale.

Our plan is clear: Transition to a self-sustaining Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), funded by a dedicated Industry Consortium. This will allow us to establish experienced leadership, and—crucially—implement a permanent "Free-to-Schools" distribution model across the UK.

Does Roadster! have a future as a national force for good?

We need YOUR perspective to help us answer that question.

We’ve developed a low-risk, phased strategy, but its viability relies on an initial signal of industry commitment.

If your organisation cares about:

Talent pipeline and workforce development.

Genuine, measurable CSR impact in education.

Showcasing your industry to children ages 8–14.

then please take 3 minutes to complete our short, non-binding Signal of Interest Survey. Your input confirms our strategic plan and helps us secure the foundational funding needed to scale up.

Thank you for helping us fuel the future of STEM and the motor industry!

Tickets for the January 2026 Bicester Scramble have gone live!

We’ve got ours!

Word of advice to those who don’t know… they tend to go REALLY quick!

If you want to see what it’s all about and have a fun day out I REALLY recommend you make a booking NOW!

(And if we can get a group of Roadster! readers together even better, as we can go around together!).

The Scramble is an opportunity for hundreds of classic vehicle enthusiasts to come together and enjoy a relaxed gathering, outdoors with plenty of space and fresh air, with curated displays and entertainment for all the family.

We had a lovely morning strolling around the Bicester Motion Wearescramblers earlier.

It really is a treat to have such a fantastic event in the local area.

Would anyone going like a copy of Roadster Magazine?

Drop us a message and we’ll arrange an exchange! We’ll have copies with us!

We recently marked our three years of making Roadster Magazine. That’s quite an achievement!

The idea for Roadster! really began in August 2022, when Sam had a great time exploring and “reviewing” cars at The British Motor Show. Over the following month we set about developing and the idea, and by this point we had the idea sketched out and we were starting to build our idea

(P.S. we STILL haven’t run that 911 story!)

Hyundai Motor Company’s Great British School Trip funding window is now open!

The Great British School Trip is a programme run by Hyundai UK that gives bursary funding to schools so pupils can go on educational school trips.

It aims to reduce the financial barriers that make school trips difficult to organise—things like travel costs, entry fees, booking costs—especially for schools and pupils in more deprived or under-resourced areas.

Details here!

Rising costs are making it harder than ever to make school trips happen. That's why the Hyundai Great British School Trip is offering bursary support to help fund travel and entry to incredible venues across the UK.
