I have 32 of the 33 editions of the 'Motoring Encyclopedia' stored in a crate in mg garage. The print run was weekly from October 1932 and cost 'SIXPENCE'. Typical contents are and I quote...'Instant Reference to every detail of Motoring practice. The care and maintenance of all types of Modern Cars. How to locate faults. Repairs. Touring. Law for Motorists. Illustrated with 2500 Pictures and Working Diagrams', also there is a 2 miles to the inch map on the back page.

The copies are in very good condition for their age and imminently readable for those enthusiasts that run 1930's cars.

Make me an offer please.

I wonder if they're the forerunner to The New Motoring Encyclopedia, circa 1936? http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/motoring-encyclopedia.htm.

Rick,
I believe the Motoring Encylo. does pre-date The New Motoring Encyclo.' as the first edition is October 1932(as I mentioned in my previous 'post'!) and it ran weekly for 32 weeks...
If you are interested in them make me an offer....
