Austat Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Thought I might start a topic based on interesting magazine scans, sought of like One Shite Picture per post. Adverts, articles, road tests, anything really car related from magazines can be uploaded here. Let's start off with a Wartburg Knight advert from 1972: Happy scanning everyone!

bunglebus Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I sold a lot of my mags, mostly hot rod/custom stuff but I have loads of VW mags still (for sale...) The Safer Motoring ones are pretty interesting as they concentrate on VW but also looked at all European brands, lots of Wartburg and Moskvitch stuff in there. The majority are boxed up in storage but got a pile of doubles at home. I'll dig some out when I remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Norman Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 No idea. Must be around 72/73 with an L reg car in it I'd guess, but short of digging them out and flicking through two years worth of magazines page by page it'll have to remain a mystery I'm afraid.

Austat Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 I've found that the BMW 2002 Touring vs the Reliant Scimitar GTE was a test comparison favourite for a few magazines from this era.
