VALUE OF CAR MAGAZINES

[johan wepener]

This is not an advertisement, I just want to get the opinion of fellow members

as to the value of CAR magazines.

I never thought the day will come but due to health issues we are in the process

of selling our house with its ample space and moving to a town house in a security complex.


I have a full set of Car magazines. From the very first issue in March 1957

to this day. The condition of the magazines is nothing short of immaculate.

In adition I have a few Car publications with numerous road tests done by Car.These

tests date back to 1960's 1970's.


What do members think is a reasonable asking price ?

My Guestimate is R16,000 and that is a reasonable price!
Remember this is nearly 60 yrs!!
Must go to the right custodian!!

The only issue I don't have is Feb 1957.....

Its hard to put a value on a collection like this...

Difficult to put a value to a set. I am 3 short of a complete collection. Apr 62, May 68, Dec 69.

Thanks for the response.

Johann ,I agree, the collection must go to a good custodian. It took me almost

15 years to collect the magazines from March 1957 to late 1970's. I subscribed

late 1970's to this day.

Those oldies were collected from all over the country....Durban,PE,Houbay.

I also have the full set from Feb 57 to date - including the full set of Technicar when they were separate. Also took many years to get the set complete.
