Stance Auto Magazine: Where Real Cars and Real Stories Live
In a world where car culture can sometimes feel distant and commercial, Stance Auto Magazine stands out as a genuine celebration of automotive passion — especially for those who build, modify, and live the lifestyle. Founded in 2020 by car enthusiast Paul Doherty, the magazine has grown into one of the most respected digital and print platforms dedicated to modified cars, JDM culture, tuner builds, and grassroots automotive storytelling.
Stance Auto Magazine isn’t just another glossy publication — it’s a community hub that connects enthusiasts from around the world. Each monthly issue (available both online and in print) brings together stunning photography, detailed spec lists, owner-driven build stories, motorsport news, tuning tips, and lifestyle features. From slammed classics to high-speed sports cars, every vehicle featured has a personality and a story worth telling.
At its core, the magazine is built on one simple idea: real cars deserve real stories. Whether you’re a seasoned builder or dreaming about your first project, Stance Auto gives every enthusiast a platform — and a voice. It’s become a go-to resource not just for inspiration, but for community connection across continents.
The Man Behind the Magazine — Paul Doherty
Born and raised in Manchester, Paul Doherty grew up surrounded by cars; with a mechanic father and a passion for automotive culture, his love for vehicles took root early. Over the years, Paul balanced hands-on work in car sales and retail management with raising his family — all while fostering a growing enthusiasm for modified cars and the people who build them.
Fed by a desire to spotlight everyday builders rather than just high-end show cars, Paul launched Stance Auto Magazine as a platform that values passion over profit. Under his leadership as founder, editor, and CEO, the publication has not only survived the digital shift in media but also thrived, attracting millions of monthly readers in over 100 countries and keeping the spirit of printed car culture alive.
Paul’s approach is personal — he travels the globe for stories, champions grassroots builders, and embraces the diversity of the automotive scene. From classic restorations to cutting-edge JDM builds, his mission remains the same: to tell stories that resonate with real enthusiasts.
Stance Auto Magazine is more than a publication — it’s a living archive of automotive dreams, hard work, and shared passion. And with Paul Doherty at the helm, it’s a publication that feels built by the community, for the community.
