You are bidding on parts of these particular magazines, but I have hundreds more AND an extensive data base of which models each magazine covers. Why not e-mail me with your model and I will let you know if I have the magazine that covers it-ie. road tests, specifications, photos, comparisons etc. Some black & white photocopied articles also available. Everything from ABC to Zundapp including scooters, three wheelers and off -road machines. If I have had the magazine and already sold it at least you will know which volume to look for at the next auto-jumble or on e-bay.

See my other items for sale for more vintage and classic motorcycle & car literature.

I can combine postage with other similar listed items. Multiple item buyers please note-do not pay for each item separately-e-bay message me to let me know you are bidding on several items and then let me know when you have finished bidding so I can send you a final invoice with combined postage.

I always obtain proof of posting and I therefore cannot accept responsibility for items lost or damaged in the post. I would be happy to send via recorded or registered post, with the buyer to cover the additional cost. PLEASE NOTE: In order to keep costs to an absolute minimum all items are sent out as standard in a plastic punch pocket wrapper inside a plain A4 sized envelope with no cardboard protection but with "Do not bend please" written on the front. If you feel that this is insufficient protection from treatment by your local postal service (particularly those customers not in the UK and/or opting to use the Global Shipping Programme), customers must contact me for a quote before bidding as additional postage and packaging charges will apply if you require anything other than the standard.

OVERSEAS & UK BUYERS PLEASE NOTE:-

  • 1. This item has been relisted choosing not to use the GSP, but sent by normal Royal Mail International Economy or Standard postage- if your country is not listed below and you chose to have the item sent using the GSP then please check the postage quoted BEFORE BIDDING as it is difficult if not impossible to change the postage charges once you have accepted that the item will be sent by the GSP whose postage charges will presumably be shown on your country's e-bay site-see note 3 below. My normal charge for postage & packaging within the UK for items weighing up to 100grams is £1.01-£1.31 depending on the packaging required and includes a percentage to cover some of the e-bay charges. Items weighing over 100 grams will be priced according to Royal Mail charges and include the e-bay admin. charges previously mentioned.
  • 2. Please also note the standard wording on the e-bay web site of the Global Shipping Programme regarding responsibility for loss or damage caused after the item has been successfully received by the GSP if:-
  • a. A buyer claims an item isn't received or
  • b. A package is damaged in transit.
  • 3. Non UK /Overseas buyers please note -it may not be possible to send without using the GSP whose prices are considerably more than UK postage and I understand the actual cost may not be advised by e-bay until after your bid has been accepted.

*Successful bidders choosing not to use the GSP should always wait for email notification where the correct shipping for your country will appear.

 

OVERSEAS POSTAGE & Packaging QUOTED AT £7.95 or higher allows me to send it at the fastest method possible within that price, (which also includes a percentage to cover for e-bay charges). Countries covered are Germany , the Netherlands, France, Italy, the USA, Australia or Spain. If I have to use Royal Mail economy it can take anything from 15 to 84 days maximum to arrive in the case of Australia-any other country other than those listed above please e-mail me for a quote before bidding. Due to recent bad experiences with deliveries to some foreign countries I may choose to only offer the "signed for" packages service in which case please e-mail me for a price if you are bidding from India, Peru, or Thailand. Please note in the event of the item not arriving in any country all I can do is send you a copy of the proof of posting-this may not enable you to trace or track the item and my responsibility ends after this.

       Not for sale to anybody in Russia.

**Please also note that:-
Some countries and jurisdictions require eBay to collect import tax from the buyer when they pay for their order. This tax is payable in addition to my charges and will be added by e-bay to any invoices that I send. It is not refundable. This may cause confusion when you try and pay the amount on my invoice and find it is not the same as you are being asked by e-bay.  Overseas buyers wishing to save postage costs or local taxes by getting their item delivered to a UK address must pay an additional 10% of the overseas postage price quoted to cover for e-bay charges as e-bay will assume the item is being sent abroad.          

Second chance buyers please note-if you receive a chance to bid on an item that you were outbid on it may be a scanned and printed copy.

All conditions subject to change if required by any Brexit problems
