'''''The Motor''''' (later, just '''''Motor''''') (not to be confused with the American [[Hearst Corporation]] [[trade publication]], or the [[Australia]]n magazine of the same name) was a [[United Kingdom|British]] weekly [[automobile magazine|car magazine]] founded on 28 January 1903.

The journal was absorbed by its rival ''[[Autocar]]'' in 1988. For a brief period after the takeover by ''Autocar'', the name lived on as the magazine was called ''Autocar & Motor''; however, the ''Motor'' name was dropped soon afterwards.

In January 1968, during a period of government-induced currency depreciation, the UK cover price of the magazine was increased by 25% from 2s. to 2s 6d (equivalent to an increase from £0.10 to £0.125).<ref name=Motor196801>{{cite journal | authorlink = Charles Bulmer (Ed)|title = News| journal =Motor| volume =  | pages =page 76| date = 13 January 1968}}</ref>
