Talk about your great British print car ads!
Autocar has been around forever- since 1895, in fact- and even has the distinction of having fired James May (for inserting a secret message (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:JamesMayAutocar.jpg) in an issue reading "So you think it's really good yeah you should try making the bloody thing up it's a real pain in the arse"). I'm definitely looking forward to some enjoyable reading with this haul; just a quick flip through the stack produced this sextet of PCH Gold machines, including the 1951 Hillman Minx (http://jalopnik.com/tag/hillman-minx/) Magnificent, the 1950 Vauxhalls, the 1962 Triumph Herald (http://jalopnik.com/tag/triumph-herald/), the 1951 Singer 1000 (http://jalopnik.com/tag/singer-1000/), the 1957 Daimler One-O-Four, and the 1961 Wolseley Hornet. Whoa, it's a red-letter day for Wolseley Hornet aficionados! Enjoy:
