    Hopefully things work out soon for all subscribers.

    Just got back from France where issue 5 of the French edition is readily available everywhere. Marcel, do you have any experiences with the French edition? Different publisher, some content the same but also articles especially for the French edition. It might be easier to subscribe to the French edition for you?

    Odd that the current French edition is #5 when the current English edition is #9.......And that the French #5 has the cover of the English #8.

    Weirder and weirder..........:rolleyes:o_O

    Not really... Enzo France is published under license by NG Presse, Lyon. They use articles 'what they want' and 'when they want'. Not uncommon the same article appears later in an French edition. Also the choice of pictures is different to the UK edition. So NOT 'one on one' the same.

    Basically the same goes for sister magazine 'Octane' which is published in many different editions worldwide. Main stories are the same, choice of pictures vary and 'local' content and news added.

    Thanks, that’s very interesting. I did not know that. I purchased #1 in French at a tobacconist in Antibes and my recollection is that it was almost identical to the English version, but then, I suppose it would have been, as the first issue.

    I NEVER EVER heard of a French Edition of Enzo.
    Amazing what I can learn here on fchat.
    And no, I will certainly not subscribe to any French automobile magazine as I have done in the past, simply because twice a French publisher went bankrupt and both still owe me money or magazines (lost forever, of course). One of these was "Automobiles Classiques" to which I had subscribed for decades. I never got my money back.
    Crooks, nothing else.

    Automobile Classiques was one of my favorites. I always purchased it from a newsstand, and wondered why I wasn’t seeing it anymore.

    Thanks for the warning... In the past two magazines i used to buy vanished from the bookshops. First was 'Club Ferrari' by Fink Presse. More recently the magazine 'GT Italia' (with a lot of Ferrari content) which also seems to be discontinued... Luckily no subscriptions to both magazines. The French way??

    The Enzo magazine above with the red Testarossa on the cover reminded me of another Testarossa. When that Ferrari was introduced the magazine Automobile Classiques featured an article illustrated with a silver Testarossa with a tan interior out in the countryside. It was a somewhat unusual but very elegant color combination back then.
    Especially with the standard red Testarossa featured in American magazines on comparatively cheap quality paper at that time.

    Issue 9 finally arrived yesterday. According to the franking on the opaque polypropylene (I think) wrapper it was sent from Detroit. There is no return address or sender identification but there are some bar codes which may contain this information.

    Issue 197 of Octane arrived today, on time. It came, as usual, in a transparent plastic wrapper with a paper insert showing mailing information. Apparently Octane is sent from Jamaica, New York. The return address and identity of the sender are prominent.

    While both magazines are from Dennis in the UK, and while both use the same subscription service in Virginia, it is apparent that the company is using two different distributors for subscribers in the US. It is obvious that distribution of Enzo is not as efficient as for Octane, but it is not possible to know if that is the fault of the American distributor, or if Dennis uses two different methods/companies to get the magazines from its printer to the US distributors, and the problem with delivery of Enzo might lie there.

    The problem with delivery of ENZO magazine clearly lies in the UK, at their Dennis main office. If their HQ is not interested in distribution and in providing a proper service to their clients/customers/subscribers/whatever and simply doesn't care what else does it take? Is it really THAT difficult? These ***** will never wake up.

    looks like a good issue; but why on earth would you have different articles for your magazines in different countries and languages? Would you not just do one and translate it?

    This is quite common nowadays; Classic & Sports Car, Octane, they are all doing it. The main articles are shared (sometimes one month later) and there is room for local events / news.

    Yes plus the non English versions pick up most of the big articles but not those on more obscure cars, I saw that with my own articles in Classic & Sportscar UK and in Octane UK and then in the selection done by the French, German and Dutch versions. My Thomas Crown 275 Nart spyder article was used by all I think, I saw it in the German edition recently, whereas the more obscure Fellini Fantuzzi may not have been used by all. Certainly an article on a Maserati QPII prototype barnfind was not picked up by the other language versions.

    Funnily enough I subscribe to nothing but buy whatever interests me at the newstand. Well the English Enzo in Geneva (CH) where I buy my magazines is about 18CHF (same as US$) whereas the French version with the same articles is half the price...

    As someone mentioned they are published by entirely separate publishers: they signed an agreement and then they do what they want within certain boundaries.
