From the 14 March 1964 issue the magazine name was simply ''Motor''. Compared to rival ''The Autocar'' (later, just ''Autocar''), ''Motor'' was more informative and more conservative.
The magazine usually included:
* News and scoops of the latest cars
* Motorsport news and results
* Car reviews – normally two, both 2 pages long with specifications and impressions.
* Road tests – one per week and very detailed
In 1988, the journal was absorbed by its long-standing rival ''
Autocar'', which became, from the 7 September issue, ''Autocar & Motor''. Six years later, with the 21 September 1994 issue, the name reverted to ''Autocar''.
