A while ago I was given 30 years of old Autocars and Motor Sports which are fascinating reading, dating as they do from 1956. I was reading - in the bath as you do - an article from 1970 about motorhomes, like the Fiat Fargo, the Canterbury Escort, the Jennings Roadranger and so on which is interesting since I didn't even know that such makes existed. However, in one binder from 1956 this fell out:-



I guess it must have some value being a 50 year old brochure but now I'll have to search a lot further lol! Oh, and came across the reply paid card from Page and Moy for their Le Mans package, including ferry and camping. All-in for £12 10/. I must take them up on it!

Very nice find!

I bought a book at a car boot sale about Indy racing, I think it cost 50p. This was probably 6 or 7 years ago. When I got home, out fell a single A4 card with Mario Andretti's photo on it - and his autograph, made out to (I assume) the previous owner of the book Smile
