Cracking present for a petrolhead!

[Ved]

My mum found this long lost item and wrapped it for one of my presents. It was my late grandad's (also a huge petrolhead) and is from 1936 A complete set too. It might not look much but it's the best present I've had in years and means a lot. Pure quality

Sorry to ask but do you reckon its worth a bit? I'd love to see what the orange-faced guy from that bbc1 antique show would value this at. Looks in good condition too,

very nice mate, I have a collection of my grandad's 1920s & 30s motorbike/car mags and they're fantastic. Each issue is a hugely grand publication and it's like a window to a different world. Treasure them!
