Jalopy magazines for sale

[AnthonyG]

Sorting out the spare room I came across the analogue version of Autoshite - the early 1990s Jalopy magazine.

 

For those who don't know, these were little (A5) magazines from a Shropshire publisher who I believe started out with a secondhand bike guide in the 1980s. They were intended for those motoring on a budget , buying cars for less than £1000. There were editorial bits written by the (two) staff, the rest being amusing stories about old cars from the motoring public. Lots of people talking about running 1930s stuff in the 1960s and 1950s stuff in the 1970s, as well as the numerous tales of Horizons, Escorts etc. Each copy has a irreverent buyers guide to a choice piece of chod, and there is a banger buyers guide in each as well.

 

I have all issues up to and including 16 except no 10, and also no26, so the mag made it into late 1994.

 

Individually priced (except nos 1 and 2) at £2 each plus P&P, or all 16 for £25.

Issue no 1 is £5 if bought individually, as this copy has been bid up to silly money on the bay in the past (£20 + ).

Issue no 2 is only a pound as it has a ripped cover, I must have wanted the Jalopy sticker really badly!

 

PM or reply to this thread if you are interested. Payment by Paypal, cheque or cash money, you can collect from Lampeter, West Wales (SA40 postcode) to save P&P.

I already requested a few via PM but I don't mind if they're all sold to Tayne in one go, it'll be easier for you than splitting them up.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Could I have first refusal?

[sporty-shite]

My intention is to read them and then put the lot back on here for £25+p&p

 

In that case, I'd like second dibs on these when finished with, please.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Wow, there's a lot of demand for this magazine. Someone on here should copy the format and lose a substantial amount of money.

[barefoot]

Bollocks - I think I'm a bit late to this thread.

but on the off chance that all the deals above come to nothing, can I pay double?

[ProgRocker]

Jalopy mag was great! I had 3 of 'em that I sold on eBay a few years ago.

 

Maybe someone on here bought them??

[Rod/b]

Put me on the list for the 25 quid deposit resale deal please!

 

1. Tayne

2. Peter

3. Sporty

3. Rod/b

[AnthonyG]

Wow - I wasn't expecting that response!

 

If Peter's OK with it, I would like to sell to Tayne, as seliing in one go is a lot less hassle!

 

I will work out postage today and PM you Tayne.

[lancashireclamper]

Would anyone be interested in issues 3 (Capri, Avenger, Renault 4 Mk 10 Jag, Trabant etc)

5, (2CV Chevette, Daimler etc)

7, (Landcrab, MGB Fiat 131, Vanguard etc)

and issue 9, (cover is damaged, Daimler Double 6, Land Rover beetle etc)

Would prefer to ship all 4 together, not sure what p&p would come to but does ten quid for the four and I pay the postage (UK only) sound fair, or three quid each UK postage included?

Should point out none of them are pristine, they have been well read time and time again.

Tayne - you have a PM regarding postage costs.

Since there seems to be a lot of interest, I wonder whether any of the people in the queue would be kind enough to scan some highlights

[TimothyClaypole]

I think these would be better as "porn in the wild".

 

The current owner(s) throw them into some bushes for the next shitter to find.

A reminder: they are being offered to Autoshite members at just £25 + £5 postage, FAR BELOW RETAIL VALUE, on the condition that they are sold on to another member for the same price when you have finished with them.

[messerschmitt owner]

me, please

[garethj]

Would it be very, very wrong to scan these in so we can all read them? I'd have happily paid the price to get them, but there aren't many around.

 

I'm sure a few of us would chip in a fiver each to have access to them all.

[Mr Lobster]

If messerschmitt owner doesn't have them, can I have second dibs pls.

 

K THX BAI.

[messerschmitt owner]

Campbell has crossed Peter's palm with silver and Jalopies are heading for the Forest.

 

Mr L, I shall duly remember you are next on the list and message you in a month or so and demand money with menaces for the pleasure of a package of recycled car mags on the same deal as me - to be sold at cost plus postage to a fellow shiter.

Running only a modern at the moment means I'm missing my fix of RED HOT READER'S CHOD.
