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.

Try ebay. I sold mine a few years ago when I moved and made a fortune.

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

I'm sure someone out there would want them. A lot of those issues are hard to come by.

I think thats called sods law! Nevermind. I have tried Simon Lewis' website and he seems to have a few old copies available at good prices. Many thanks

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!

I sold them here in the USA where the first few years of issues are hard to find. Now race tech and RCE can be found at any major bookstore in the magazine rack.

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.

Send SS_Collins a PM, he writes for them

yep, what he said

(Alex - saw your email to Sam earlier - he'll reply during the day / when he gets back from work!).

I have some old ones somewhere, prob back to May ish last year.

Suze,

Thats great thanks. I've emailed and sent a PM just incase. Look forward to a reply

Alex

He knows it's there! I'll chase him if he's slow, tell me!

Suze,

We have exchanged PM's, very quick response!

Thanks very much

Alex

Hehe makes a change from sometimes then! Glad you're sorted.

Still on the hunt for any of Volume 1 (on the off chance!), vol 6 and vols 8 onwards.

Ok well I found a few copies around yesterday but moving day was put back until today so no idea what's left in the boxes yet!

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.

Suze,

V16 is ok. I only have a few recent copies of vol 16 so just post what issues you have got and ill let you know if I need them or not

marshalette,

Again, let me know what you find and we can arrange some money and postage

Thanks

Alex

Alex, drop me a PM and let me know what you need - don't need the issue numbers, just tell me what the front cover was and will see what we've got.

Suze,

PM sent!

Alex

ok will have a look.

ok will have a look.

Suze,
Don't mean to be picky, but... how will Alex know what is on the front cover if he hasn't actually got that particular magazine in his collection? :s

Craig, you have a very good point there! :)

I think just the current issue 's pic is on the RCE site.

Alex - they've also started doing a newsletter you can sign up to.

lol! Thought I was missing something obvious... ;)

blonde here ;)

thanks! :)

In my current issue they show all the front covers of Vol 16 so i've been able to tell suze what I need!

they do? Ah, ok! :)

Well, there you go..! They must have done it especially for Suze :p

I wouldn't be that lucky :p
