If you wish to make a multiple item purchase - I happily do combined postal rates, 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's just a watermark

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

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