Found my stack of 1970's car mags = free to a good home!

I've heard of Gerald Wingrove - never seen one in person though. 1/15 scale.  The other two did 1/8 or 1/11 or 1/20...

One can have toy cars mastered by Gerald Wingrove as he worked with both Dinky Toys and Corgi Toys in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
