Christophorus Magazines

[mustard]

Mates got a selection (not a complete set) late eighties to late nineties including the '80th Birthday edition (Sept'89)' and the 'anniversary edition (June 98)

Are these collectable, do they have any value? Just had a good result selling some brochures from a similar period!

I have to say that Christophorus is without doubt the worst car "magazine" I have ever read in my life. No, actually, it comes a close second to the sycophantic drivel that spews out of my local rag, the Gulf News, in Friday's motoring section.

Partly the reason is they have some moron doing the translation from the original German to English. Perhaps it reads fine in the original (albeit without any substance whatsoever).

Still, I'm sure it floats someone's boat. Maybe useful as a waiting room prop for dentists.

Have to agreed. Winds me up that German efficiency is such that they drop the '9' from model numbers. It may be redundant, but referring to cars as the '11' is just too much.

It serves one purpose, good photographs.
