The boost-rotation symmetric spacetimes are the only explicit solutions of Einstein's equations which represent finite moving object and are asymptotically flat. Employing the Ehlers frame theory we construct their Newtonian limits and provide specific examples (such as charged C-metric). The Newtonian limits correspond to the fields of classical point (charged) masses undergoing uniform acceleration in classical mechanics. We also consider special-relativistic limits of charged rotating C-metric obtaining thus "accelerated electromagnetic magic field" of two oppositely accelerated charged relativistic discs.
