I was down in Kangaroo Valley a few weeks ago and was dragged into some secondhand bookshops. Unluckily for the family I spotted some car magazines and spent an hour or so picking out some interesting ones. There were many more with an article or two in them, but it gets expensive buying them for one interesting article... Unfortunately we dont have a scanner at home at the moment, so some iPhone photos will do for now!

First up was a Motor from Jan 1966 with the Cooper S road test

There is a long Morris 1800 road test too

An ad for Lynx

Ad for the Deluxe
Image

A Racing Car News from April 1966 with very cool artwork on the front
Image
Warneford advertisement
Image
Racing news with Don Holland and John Leffler
Image
More racing news - Doug Mould and Jeff Dunkerton - in an ex-Manton car
Image
Morris 1100 Automatic
Image

Wheels from October 1966 with a Buckle on the front
Image
Small article
Image
Neptune Racing ad
Image

This October 1971 Modern Motor had the original Clubman brochure still inside!
Image
They were ahead of the times too, how about driverless cars
Image
And also a heads up display speedo?
Image
The brochure
Image
Image
There is also a road test of the Clubman
Image
Image
Some more ads
Image

The last one was bought for the article on the Mazda 323 (which I used to own) but there are still some interesting bits.
Image
A giveaway Moke
Image
You'd love to see some of these prices from Mini King today!
