I had "On four wheels" came out weekly back in the 70's, and had all 160+ copy's when my dad used to take me to work on a Saturday morning he bought this to keep me quite, and my mum wondered why I was obsessed with cars, took them all to the dump a couple of years ago :(

The thing that got me into it was Hot Rod and Custom,my cousin Alan had a load of copys he gave to me when he was bored with them.

I was supposed to be buying them From Dave a few years ago who still has the full set

Have you still got them Dave?

As daft as it sounds it May be worth a try on Ebay,Its a free listing weekend so no insertion fee if you put them at a high price.

I can pay £50 for them plus postage,but you did say you would not post them which makes things complicated.

My wife took partial retirement so she is home most afternoons now. A courier might be able to pick them up. We also have a new post office locally. They will take them if I split then into two parcels. So it is possible now.
But I will take your advice about ebay this weekend. Thanks. :thumbright:

The Ranger, I love it.

I used to have Car Craft and Hot Rod sent over back in the sixties, I had a huge throw out some years ago though...always remembered the Mister Norm ads...

Only yesterday I remembered those card sheets that you could buy with scenes printed on them and transfers you rubbed down, what where they called?
[?/quote] I remember those, Martin. :-) Jiggered if I can remember what they were called though. :-S

Found this today, unlike most of the stuff I've unearthed, I won't be parting with it....

That's a great find 8-) Don't blame you for holding on to that.
