Mini Magazine reports that Monty Watkins has quit as Editor of MiniWorld, as IPC prepare to sell it to another publisher.

Thats Pants, he is a nice bloke, hope Miniworld does'nt change to much.

that is interesting. I hope they can find a good buyer for the magazine and they produce a good quality "only classic" one...

Thanks Monty, and good luck!!!

And what of my subscriptions?

If its sold to Kelsey publications then Mini world should be ok. All their motoring mags do not cross over so there would be room for it to sit along Modern MINI and not cross over in to one, for this would be ashame if it did.
Best thing now is to wait and see what happens before coming to conclusions.

I could see Kelsey producing a new mag called Mini United to save on production costs and appeal to a wider audiance.

But BMW would start crying about how they "stole" the Mini United name

I've been told that Mr Watkins decission of leaving the mag had been taken way before any news of a sell off and due to personal reasons. MiniWorld will continue as well as all the people working for it...

I usually get miniworld over mini magazine. I like both and mini magazine is slightly better but the feature cars in miniworld are more like what i'm into.

[minimalal]

interesting, be good to see if anything changes. i prefer miniworld but wish they would give it a tough spine like mini mag, it always tears!

[lewis]

i buy both, but only categorize the mini mag as it actually stays in one piece after a month!

still, someone needs to save miniworld before its too late
