If you wish to purchase more than one magazine - I will happily offer you a combined postal rate – Not a problem, just ask!
I have literally thousands more Motorcycle magazines, from many, MANY more publications covering all decades from the 60’s right up to the present day
Please, have look in my eBay shop, you just might find another issue with your bike in it
Your purchase will not have the words ‘pygmalion-effect’ across the front cover, like it is in the photo above - that is just my shops ‘watermark’

These magazines are impossible to buy as back-issues anymore
So, when they’re gone, sadly they’re probably going to be ‘gone for good’
A good ol' nostalgic read . . . . just a few quid
