Motor Magazine May 1981 Lancia Delta Auto Union V16 Mag

Motor. April 29, 1981 – slight drawing on cover. Motor was a long-running weekly United Kingdom publication that focused on the new car, or news that may affect the motorist. As such for the main part you get articles on new cars to the market, or general motoring stories. Very much a belt-and-braces approach to journalism, the magazine tries to tell it as it is so is perhaps all the more informative for that. My Motor magazines go back as far as the sixties, so the stories are no longer really about new cars! So in one sense they have become historic documents for the discerning classic car owner – a new car then is a classic car now. This particular issue, for your interest and enjoyment, has articles on: Auto-Union V16. Lancia Delta 12000 mile test. Audi Coupe. VW Scirocco. Opel Monza FF. …and don’t forget the period advertisements and classified section. Often this part of the magazine is worth the cover price alone! Note that I have over 1,000 magazines listed in my eBay shop. To find these, click on the shop icon . Then, in the little search box down to the left [imagine looking down a bit towards your elbow!], simply type in the detail you are interested in. Manufacturer, car, person, event or even car registration number – be creative! Please note that these are all my own magazines that I have collected over the years. I buy around 20 a month, and have done so for almost three decades. In addition I also bulk buy at car boot sales, so I’ve thousands upon thousands of magazines in the house. All I’m doing now is thinning my collection down a little. Hence all of the magazines are in used, but good condition. I run older cars as a hobby, and from time-to-time buy a motorbike for fun. My last bike was a new Suzuki Bandit 600 that I put 50,000 miles on in under 5 years. At the moment my car is an old Volvo – cheaper than the train! Post: I try and be as fair as possible with postage rates. But these days postage outside of Europe is very high, so I cannot do anything to cheapen these rates unfortunately. Sometimes the Post Office makes a mistake on the rates, so if this happens I pass the savings back to the buyer. Most of my magazines go out double wrapped for protection, so they arrive in good condition. If you want to buy more than one, please feel free – but ignore the auto-invoice from eBay as I will combine shipping for all multiple purchases. I do not accept IBAN / International Bank Transfer as a means of payment. And, I hate to say this, but for German buyers I will block all e-mails that originate outside of eBay – I do not like the spam e-mails that follow on!

UK magazine’s Long Term Test of 1981 – BMW 732i

LONG TERM TEST, ORIGINAL MAGAZINE REPORT Vehicle Tested: BMW 732iTested at: 12,000 miles UK Magazine: Autocar Number of Sides: 4 (Stapled) Sometimes amongst the magazine purchases I make, boxes or files of extracted road tests & reports arrive. I have always preferred to sell the complete issue, but this is an occasion when I am offering just the original long term test. I also still have literally thousands of 1946-2006 tests from my Transport Source Books and auto jumbling days, but mainly unsorted so cannot help with ‘wants lists’, sorry! The starting price reflects the age of the material, and often known scarcity. A long term Road test is usually performed over several thousand miles when the magazine is able to keep the car for a lengthy period. Any problems encountered are usually highlighted and reported upon. Normally a long term test report has several photographs, technical and performance details. Note that magazine testing is independent from the manufacturer, so often it makes interesting reading. Post and handling charges for your area… The postage/shipping charge is cheaper than for the complete magazine. (All delivery options in a board-backed envelope marked ‘Do not bend’ and the test is within a plastic sleeve) About Oldcarmags Run full-time by motoring historian Trevor Alder of Transport Source Books, there are hundreds of thousands of old car magazines held in stock on the family farm, many of which are offered on eBay for sale, with new additions being added regularly. The company six wheel Land Rover Discovery was built using nearly 100 percent eBay parts (see the About Me page for details. For details of this unusual build, look in our listings for our self-published book entitled The Merzouga Discovery. Dispatch Time We operate a dispatch policy to ensure your parcel will be processed within two working days. Often this is quicker, but allow up to three days due to peaks and troughs, or us being out on the road buying further stock.

Our opening hours: Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm Postage and Packaging Your item(s) will be sent using the standard Royal Mail service. The estimated delivery using Royal Mail is normally 2-4 working days. The postage/packing cost reflect Royal Mail costs and small packing charges, but some of the lightest items are special offer and post free. Contact Us We strive to offer a five out of five star service. If you have a question or for any reason you are less than 100% satisfied we pride ourselves in customer service, then please contact us, as we would be pleased to hear any constructive comments.

Note we regret we cannot answer any indepth enquiries such as “My classic Thringe Popmatic GL was rallied in the early 1970s, can you help me find the magazine it was in…” However, we do try and describe as many of the key articles in each magazine as is practically possible. Returns Policy We are sure that you will like our often rare motoring items as much as we do.
