Practical Motorist Magazine June 1971 Morris Marina Jaguar V12 VW Capri Toyota SKU 1525

Original vintage Practical Motorist Magazine – June 1971, a period British motoring publication covering road tests, mechanical repairs, servicing, technical advice and practical ownership guidance.

This is a particularly interesting issue for collectors of 1970s British motoring magazines, Morris Marina memorabilia, Jaguar, Volkswagen, Ford Capri, Toyota and classic-car workshop material.

The front cover is dominated by a period photograph of a Morris Marina, with the cover highlighting a substantial selection of contemporary mechanical and road-test features.

Main Cover Features

The June 1971 cover advertises:

• Morris Marina – Impressions
• Jaguar's New V12
• VW Engine Overhaul
• Beat Those Rising Costs
• Toyota Corona 1900 SL Test
• Renovating Vauxhall's Gear Change
• Ford Capri Data Sheet

This issue captures the early-1970s motoring scene particularly well, combining new-car coverage with the sort of hands-on maintenance and repair information for which Practical Motorist was known.
