The ‘Free’ Gifts that are sometimes given away with these magazines (i.e. cloth patches, key-rings, sticker sheets, nude & lingerie model calendars, supplements, info booklets, supplementary posters or giveaway ‘freebie’ gifts), are now not always still attached anymore, or even included with the magazine – if they are, consider it as an added bonus, but please don’t always expect them to always be included within your purchase
If you wish to purchase more than one magazine - I will happily offer you a discounted postal rate to help out – Not a problem, just ask!
I have literally thousands more Magazines, from a diverse collection of other publications, covering all decades from the early 50’s, right up to present day – have look in my eBay shop, you just might find another issue with your Car, or 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 . . . . for just a few quid
