CAR Magazine pioneered the adventure drive story – taking Jaguars behind the Iron Curtain and convoys of Lamborghinis across Europe in the 1970s proved a winning formula for our team of photo and wordsmiths. It's a format CAR cherishes to this day, so we've had quite a job picking the best adventures to fit into our new Epic Drives bookazine, on sale now.

We've now made Epic Drives available to order for overseas readers.

The 148-page collector's edition is printed on premium stock, uninterrupted by adverts and stuffed – appropriately enough – with some scintillating adventures. We drive to Timbuktu in a Land Rover, retrace the route of the Orient Express in a new Rolls-Royce Phantom and take a Bentley Azure to the Arctic Circle. High octane thrills ensue as we drive an Audi R8 to the Sahara, race across Dubai in a Koenigsegg and SLR, and steer a convoy of Italian exotica from Monaco to Modena.

If you're new to CAR, it's a great introduction to what we do. Epic Drives is CAR Magazine distilled – and a great holiday treat if you're flying off on your vacation.

Epic Drives is on sale now in major supermarket and newsagent chains, priced £7.99. Click here if you want to order a copy online for dispatch outside the UK.
