Condition Report

This vintage Enjoying MG magazine is in used condition with clear age and handling wear. The front cover still presents well, with strong colour and a great action image of an MG driving through water, but there is visible wear to the right-hand edge, including a noticeable small tear/chip around the outer edge. Corners show wear, light bending and rubbing.

The spine appears intact, with typical age-related rubbing. Internal pages shown are readable and clean overall, with some edge wear and light creasing from use/storage. Not mint, not pretending to be, because apparently old magazines have the nerve to age.

Front Cover / Main Car Interest

The front cover features the Ex-Abingdon Works MGA 1600 Deluxe Coupe negotiating a Cambridgeshire ford. The contents page confirms:

“Cover photograph: The Ex-Abingdon Works MGA 1600 Deluxe Coupe negotiating a Cambridgeshire ford with ease.”

This is a strong collector point for buyers interested in MGA, MGA 1600 Deluxe Coupe, Abingdon Works MG history, and period MG Owners Club material.
