1950s/60s Car Mechanic Magazines for free.

[TVR Dummy]

Not really TVR related but I don't know where else to ask...

I have about 40 Magazines from the 50s/60s, loads of old British cars featured, I just want to find a good home for them, free to anyone who wants to collect from Middlesex.

PM me if interested or they will go in the recycling.

Would a charity shop be interested in magazines?

My dad (and me in fact) would love these but we're in the Midlands.
Mags usually go for decent money on e-bay but certainly don't bin them.
Where are you in Middlesex?

I'm near Uxbridge. I've tried ebay before but had no success, I'm sure I could try and ebay them individually, car specific entries, I just haven't got the time or patience! Looking at ebay there are many on there and very few get any bids.

I really don't want to dump them, they belonged to my late Father so would like to see them go to a good home, or give them to charity, or even a dealer who could sell them on at car fairs.

I could box them up and they could be collected by a courier if anyone is interested.

How much to send do you think?

I'm usually out and about collecting crap from e-bay but nothing near you at the moment. 200+ mile round trip is a bit too much unless I could tie it in with something else.

Would e-mail but your profile doesn't accept e-mails.

Are you close then Ian as that would be much appreciated.
Few beer bouchers in it. The old man is stuck in the 50 and 60's (other than his hair (or lack of) and is dressed by my mom) and retired now so he'd be more than happy to spend his hours flicking through these.
More than happy if you want a butchers before hand.

Could you send me contact details please so I can arrange collection through Ian. Your PH profile doesn't allow e-mails but you can mail me through here.
Many thanks.
