Minor Matters 1987

Post by **stephenpolhill** » Mon May 31, 2010 5:24 pm

Hi there. On the way back from a day out with the family we popped into a local antiques fair and I came across an old Minor Matters from Jan/Feb 1987. I got them to sell it for £2 and have rather enjoyed it. Especially looking at how much my car would've cost then. The newest car a Ford Orion and most for sale Minors under £1000

.
I'm going to keep a look out for these from now on! Out of interest what is the earliest the magazine was published?
Thanks
Steve

In it's current form (A4) - 1982 - earlier in A5 format. I'm not certain when they started but we've got copies from 1981.

Blimey, is that you and Lou on the front, with a van full of regalia?

I used to have boxes upon boxes of issues that came with Mona. I think Rob.Hardy1 has them now so maybe he knows.

Did you notice many topics in the older mags that are in the current ones?

Yeah - right! I always wear a wedding dress when selling Regalia! Perhaps I should dig it out - I might boost sales

It's interesting to see how they've changed from modern classics to a full blown desireful classic

Before the A5 booklet with the blue cover Minor Matters was just photocopied A4 sheets stapled in the top left hand corner. I've got some - from 1979 onwards - but not all of those. There were enough A5 magazines to make it worth having a special 'mini' binder done for them. Mine's in storage or I'd be able to give more precise dates. JC

1979 onwards then, that's interesting to know - so we've nearly got a full set then

Attention to Lou (Regaliaqueen)
Why not to reprint the old features and put in a book, and sold in regalia, may be will be a nice item for the Cristhmas time??
This is only a suggestion!

Cheers
Carlos

The Blue A5s were published from March 1980 to March 1982. I have A4 sheets going back to 1979, I will check whenI have time.
