World Car Guide 88 scans

[R9UKE]

Picked 1988 and 1991 World Car Guides up from a car booty for 20p each

 

Would be selfish not to share. Sorry about the shite quality...adds to the effect though!

 

Just selected a few, sorry didn't have time to scan every page.

These are great books. I've got most of them from '67 to '81....very well thumbed they are!! Nice to see a later one!

Are they still going? I think I've got 2001 as well but never seen any later ones

A wide selection of our favourites there! Excellent!

I used to get them every year, and they ran to about 2004/2005 IIRC. The later ones were very hard to get hold of - I had to resort to ringing around newsagents in a J R Hartley stylee to get a copy. There may be later ones, but they certainly weren't stocked in any newsagents between Barrow and Carlisle - I probably rang them all.

 

Even better though are World Car Reviews, published by Italian publishers (who I can't remember). I have a couple of late '60s ones - really glossy and full of technical detail too. Expensive though, at about £20 a pop from my local old books place.

 

Sorry if I'm sounding a bit vague about these - they're all boxed up on the loft, and finding them's not easy so it's all from memory.

I once had that very book, which my dad once bought for me. Totally forgot about that FSO/Cortina advert. My main memory from it was how the Brazilian built VW Fox 'kinda looked like an elongated Polo bread van'.

 

Stutz Bearcat II - yummy!
