I used to always get Practical Classics and Classics all the time too, but they don't have the same appeal to me anymore.

Errm. I've got a shed-load of stuff like "Practical Motorist" from the 40's and 50's! What do I win as a prize? ;D Also, I'm selling off a load of mags at the mo: have a look at my eBay curse word: cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6934906621&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:ITThis is one....have a look at my other items.... I've got approximately 500 back issues of various stuff to sell, plus boxes and boxes of old handbooks and workshop manuals to sell....it's just finding the time to list them all on the 'Bay!

I have somewhere a copy of Autocar (I think, or something similar) from the 1940's. Also a Rolls Royce brochure from the same period . I didn't buy it new.... it was inherited. I don't normally keep old mags, but they rarely get thrown away - they just seem to turn up again after a while! I ought to put them together somewhere though as I'm always digging around for a certain mag with a certain article in it relating to a similar project I'm doing I have a separate filing system under the matress but thats for a different interest ;D

NickB definately wins then! Not got any antique car mags, just loads of old Orwell books, I have a real antique copy of Animal Farm somewhere. And I briefly borrowed a seriously old antique copy of Karl Marx's Das Kapital, but it wasnt mine!

A nice copy of 1984 from 1956, Animal farm from the early sixties, complete leather bound "Road to Wigan Pier" etc. Think I left my Marx in a pub. Certainly went AWOL after drinking....

I was talking about my Practical Fishkeeping mags, honest guv! ;D

That reminds me, I know someone at a little bookshop near here that's meant to be getting me a copy of The Road to Wigan Pier, since it's not something that you can easily find in this little bloody ghost town! Never any Marx about either! Talking of Marx, I was once sent on a work placement in the local College library during high school (don't ask why!) and got into trouble for disappearing into a storeroom and spending a week reading Das Kapital and some Leon Trotsky books/leaflets/etc! ;D ;D ;D ;D

The oldest mag i've got is some classic car mag from Aug 1989 (pretty good considering i was 3 at the time). I've also got all top gears from 97-01, all EVO mags, All Retro Cars, Most PPC and loads of classic ford ;D

my dad has quite a few 50's mags but the oldest I own is 'Hot Car' from 1980 when KS was at the helm, the adverts are priceless. Readioshack stereos with half naked women draped over the slotmagged ford pops. that same vinyl rood ad that is -still- in custom car ... i might scan the whole thing in one day

Don't get me started on old car mags!!! If I hadn't bought so many cars mags over the years I would probably be living in a Penthouse flat in London with loads of cars. But that flat would be boring, as it would have no quality reading material!!!!! ;D

I've got Custom Car magazines dating from around 1973...and a complete set from about 1992 to date. Street Machine magazine issue 1(1979) until the American Car World merger in about 2001, but with a few gaps in the early 80s. About 5 consecutive years of Classic & Sportscar in the loft and various european VW mags (VW scene). Most of mine are actually neatly filed except for 'current reading' which means about 10 issues scattered around the house at any time. I've just started looking for early issues of Fast Car (pre-lads mag issues!) because the content is looking far more interesting with age - I'm reading about a Strada engined Panda with Cromadoras at the moment in an '87 issue.
Summary - lost of mags.

My attic is groaning under the weight of Motorsport magazines from 1958 to 1980.
I have also inherited my Dads car mags from the late 60s and early 70s

Hmm... I've got a load of 'Safer Motoring' mags which later became 'VW motoring' from the 60's I think. Also got pretty much every VW motoring to the current day. Our Luke has tons of old mags from the 50's and 60's too but I just collect VW ones and EVO mainly.

Got quite a few copies of Safer Motoring laying around somewhere, dating back to god knows when. I've also got a good few copies of Vworld aswell, including two copies of every issue up to 93! Think I may have to share the wealth and chuck some on eBay!
