4ft high pile of 1950s-60s car and bike mags

[messerschmitt owner]

higher than a GT40, meatier than a copy of Hello, chock full of old car articles, adverts and pictures, I have for sale (yes, for sale, I want Money - to quote the Flying Lizards) a decent stash of old car mags all from the 50s and 60s.

 

There are about ten or fifteen London Show issues (never mind the quality, feel the width) of Autocar and Motor, there's Practical Motorist, Motorcycling, Autocar, Motor, and others. I've tidied up the garage, moved them to the shed, spent half an hour, even in the freezing cold, reading them, they were that interesting.

 

For Autoshiters, they're the business! Read how your car performed in a road test in 1962, find out what a Messerschmitt TG500 could be bought for in 1960 (c. £614), read about Ford Prefects as if they were new cars (cos they were when the magazines were printed). Mostly in good condition, some with loose covers, but otherwise all there.

 

Just think of the hours of fun you could spend in the bedroom (if you don't have a wife - or indeed, if you do have a wife, but would rather cuddle up to the 14 November 1962* issue of Autocar instead). You could fill your shed with them, they will however fill your life for a month or so and you can entertain other shiters with pages scanned at random and posted on this very forum, making you a hero for all repressed shiters everywhere.

 

 

And what price this 4ft high pile of automotive porn, I hear you ask? Well, to you, guv'nor, £45 all in, delivered into the back of your car with a smile by yours truly, who will be mugged of the money by the missus as soon as you have left. Coffees, beers, chats all included in the price. And where do you have to come to find this stash of automotive grumble? Gloucester! Don't worry about the snow, bring a bar of chocolate and a shovel and if you get trapped by a foot of the white stuff on the way home, you will at least have something to read and something to eat - for the more automotively repressed, I suggest a man size box of tissues to wipe up the mess you'll make as you go dogging with a pile of car mags.
