Item 4...

 

jalopys by r_welfare, on Flickr

 

All 31 issues of Jalopy.  Plus the only 2 printed issues of Original Tin by our very own Conrad D. Conelrad.  I'm asking £100 posted for these.  Steep, but try finding another set...

 

 

[scruff]

Serious Joypal envy.

 

Still treasure my stash, ex-tontops - they've done the rounds among shite car loving friends and like a wanky lop-sided Allegro, bring joy wherever they go

[Skizzer]

I'll gladly take item 3 (CAR) off your hands.  PM on its way.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Pretty good value considering what they go for individually. The Jalopys, that is. Pogweasel once sold a copy of Original Tin for seven quid on eBay, which made me exclaim WTF out loud since I lost that much on every copy. 

[chaseracer]

Damn - too slow on item 3.  Second dibs if it all goes like a Lada on three, please thank you 

[Mr Livered]

I've pm'd you about the Jalopy mags.

[anonymous user]

If Mr Livered does not take you up on the Jalopys I will.

[Skizzer]

Damn - too slow on item 3.  Second dibs if it all goes like a Lada on three, please thank you 

 

I might well pass some of them on once I've read them, so you'll prolly get another chance.  Remind me in a couple of months if I've forgotten.

[trigger]

I think i gave my copy of Original Tin to Spottedlaurel a few years back, It was a good read but SL had a feature in it but didn't own a copy so i gave him mine, I hope to find some Jalopy magazines one day so i can take a read of one and see what all the fuss was about. 

[scruff]

Want a loan, Trig? Happy to pop some in the post. 

[trigger]

Cheers Scuff but another shitter has just offered me a copy via PM which was also very kind, thank you anyway!. 

[r.welfare]

State of play:

 

CAR - first dibs to Skizzer with Chaseracer as reserve.

 

Jalopy - first dibs to Dugong with Mr Livered and Guest as first and second reserve respectively.

 

R&T and Autocars still available.

 

Still to come - about a dozen issues of Wheels (Australian version of CAR) from the 70s and 80s; plus pretty much every issue of Car Mechanics since 2007, if there is any interest in the latter!

[r.welfare]

By the way I believe that set of Jalopy is complete but have never been able to confirm. The niece of Rod Ker signed up to the Honest John forum some years back after someone started a Jalopy thread, but buggered off before I had the chance to ask if Issue 31 was the last!

 

It took me about three years to build that set up but I haven't read them since I don't know when.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Rod Ker emailed me about Original Tin, he was intrigued about one of the pseudonyms used. 

[Timewaster]

Serious Joypal envy.

 

Still treasure my stash, ex-tontops - they've done the rounds among shite car loving friends and like a wanky lop-sided Allegro, bring joy wherever they go

I was just trying to remember who they went to. Glad they are being enjoyed and spread about.

 

I might even ask for a borrow back when I get some time to sit and read stuff. Keep an eye out for a PM around 2030

[scruff]

Rod Ker emailed me about Original Tin, he was intrigued about one of the pseudonyms used. 

 

I did wonder if C. Potato of Jalopy was C. Potato of Original Tin. 

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

From the email, I would guess not! 

[George-Roper]

When can I see these wheels mags and how much?

[r.welfare]

There's 15 in total - 14 Wheels, one Modern Motor. I will take a pic but probably won't be able to upload until Wednesday.
