‘Free Gifts’ that were occasionally attached to these magazine (such as cloth patches, key-rings, sticker sheets, nude pin-ups, calendars, supplements, booklets, posters etc) are probably no longer still attached anymore – if they are & you do get it, consider it a bonus - but please don’t expect that original free gift, to still be included with your purchase

If you wish to make a multiple item purchase - I can happily offer you a combined postal rate, Not a problem, just ask!

I literally have thousands more Motorcycle magazines, from many, many more publications, covering all decades

Please consider looking in my eBay shop, you just might find another issue relating to your bike

 Your purchase will not have the words ‘pygmalion-effect’ written across the front cover, like it is in the thumbnail photo - that is just my shops watermark

These magazines are impossible to buy as back-issues, So when they’re gone, they’re sadly going to be gone for good !

 A good ol’ nostalgic read . . . . for just a few quid
