A car-focused digital publication, initially founded in early 2008, has produced over 5,200 stories catering to vintage racing, auctions, events, and car profiles, driven by a personal interest in classic cars. The content, enriched by award-winning contributors, is strategically designed to rank high in search results for auction, event, and vintage racing keywords. With an expansive reach, the publication boasts significant social media following and a substantial subscriber base to its email newsletter, previously reaching over 100,000 unique monthly visitors and more than 50,000 newsletter subscribers. The audience is composed of affluent influencers deeply involved in the luxury goods sphere, including modern and classic cars.
Monetization avenues include custom content, influencer marketing, email promotions, and various banner advertisements. However, the focus of the founders has shifted due to other business commitments, leading to the decision to sell. The ideal buyers would be automotive enthusiasts and tech-savvy entrepreneurs who can leverage the publication's extensive content and digital presence.
Asset offerings include brand assets, customer databases, social media accounts, domains, website content, and e-commerce platforms. Post-sale support will be available to ensure a smooth transition. A technical issue with duplicate Google Analytics plugins was identified and resolved, ensuring accurate traffic analytics going forward, although unique visitor counts remain unaffected. The publication offers a lucrative opportunity for individuals interested in maintaining its influence within the classic car community.
