Wanted: Racecar engineering magazines
Hi,
Firstly hello! This is my first post and its a 'wanted' request! I am after old copies of Racecar Engineering magazine that people wouldn't mind selling on to me for a small fee. I'm a regular subscriber now but would love to get hold of some of the old copies if poss and have a good flick through. Email me on 'moir_alex@hotmail.com' or leave a message below. Thanks in advance Alex |

Have you tried 2nd hand book and magazine stores? I once found a stack of RCE and RT mags. The owner noticed me buying them and then hung onto them for me. Every month I would go in and get about a dozen of them. Old ones too, some back to 1992!
You should add your location. |

Thanks for the reply. I'm in Farnborough in Hampshire. I will try and scout about the local 2nd hand bookshops

Bugger, I threw out a couple of years worth of RCE recently as no one wanted them. And I'm only down the road from you too.
Collectors Carbooks at Silverstone and/or Simon Lewis Transport Bookshop may be worth a shout, they do tend to have quite a lot of old magazines and books. |

No one interested on eBay either at the time. Most likely because of the cost of posting them.

mountainstar, I think they are worth a bit more overseas. Certainly most people in Aus can't afford to spend AU$12 every couple of months for a magazine.
Here in UK they're cheap compared! |

It's a surprise sometimes what things are worth. I had started buying FORZA magazine(an american ferrari mag) back when it first came out. I had the 1st issue and about 12 others before I stopped buying them. When I was sorting through my accumulation of 1500 car and racing magazines(1991-2003) many I threw out but these i thought I would put on ebay. Mainly I just wanted someone who wanted them to have them, rather than be put in the trash bin. The auction ended at $170.00. That was a shock. |

Alex,
I used to buy the odd copy of RCE a few years ago, but really have no clue where they might be - I'll have a look and let you know if I find any... |

Alex - found some but they're all just loads and loads of v16 which iswhat we're on now - though I'm sure there's more to be unearthed somewhere.
