I'd like to find a home for this collection of Car Mechanics magazines. They date from 1976 to about 1985. I've not checked if every issue is there but it certainly looks pretty comprehensive. The older ones are in a ring binder.
Loads of info and articles on re-building all sorts of cars from the era, mainly Ford, Vauxhall and BL products. As someone who wasn't around in this era, it's been an eye opener looking through. Life was dangerous back then!
“It’s Chardonnay dear - we can’t waste this on the car”
Fashion was dubious
I think he got fed up with his Lancia not starting. Maybe he needed one of these?
Or perhaps:
Everything about the era was beigey-brown.
And yes, that’s an MOT tester in a lab coat. Your worst nightmare, especially if you’d just tried some of the dodgy repairs further down.
£500 for a Capri. Sign me up!
This looks mean - like an angry Renault 5.
Feast your eyes on some 1980's bargains. What does a Fulvia make now? A lot.
Dubious mods
Dubious repair guides
Has he not just replaced a bodge with a bodge?!
Alfa’s were still unreliable
16 WATTS!
“Mum, I’m taking over the drive this week and borrowing the spare mattress...”
No.
This on the other hand....YES!
All this and so much more could be yours for FREE if collected from Hailsham, East Sussex. If you'd like them posted it'd be £20.
