own subcritions going. i would appreciate any help i could get. i have'nt
been able to locate any.

HEMMINGS MOTOR NEWS has just about everything a sane person would want. Write: HMN Subscriptions, Box 100, Bennington, VT 05201 Back in '84 a year's subscription (12 issues) cost $15.50 and a current sample copy ran $4.50 with first class delivery. The rates are now higher so you might want to call them first. I wouldn't worry about the cost. When you are restoring a car you soon learn to numb your mind when dollars are mentioned. |-) - Phil

Depends upon what type of car you want to restore, but if it's English,
there are a number of magazines that might help:
Practical Classics This magazine is geared towards the
PPG Publishing Ltd. do-it-yourselfer.
Kelsey House
77 High Street Cost is 16.50 pounds/year
Beckenham Kent BR3 1AN
tel. 01-658-3531
Classic and Sportscar This one has a lot more driving
Haymarket Publishing Ltd. impressions in it of the classic
12-14 Ansdell Street English cars.
London W8, England
US subscriptions to: Cost is $39.50 US/year
Eric Waiter
Gleneagles Drive
New Vernon, New Jersey 07976
Thoroughbred and Classic Cars This one is a mix between
Business Press International Ltd. the other two.
Quadrant House
Sutton, Surrey SM2 5As, England Cost is $35.00 US/year
US subscriptions to:
Publications Expediting Inc
200 Meacham Ave
Elmont, New York 11003
All of these rags contain lots of ads for parts from English companies.
Typically, one finds a 25% savings on parts (over buying in the US),
including shipping. They all take VISA and phone orders too!
I picked up initial copies of these magazines in a place called
Magazine City in Seattle. I suspect there is a store like it in every
major city in the US.
