An additional insert mentions the discovery of the historic brand Chenard & Walcker, illustrated by a photo of an old blue vehicle, adding a retro touch to this issue.

The magazine presents a neat visual appearance, with vibrant colors (turquoise blue, red, white) and a glossy paper cover, typical of contemporary automotive press. The entire front cover is in good overall condition, with no tears or major marks visible in the photo. The barcode and the price "€5.20" are present at the bottom right, attesting to its authenticity and original edition.

The general presentation, the richness of the visuals, and the highlighting of new car models make this issue an interesting support for any automotive news enthusiast, vehicle history buff, or contemporary design admirer.
