Spridgeteers,
I didn't see that this had made it to this list. I think it should have.

>The plan is to solicit orders from UK and overseas readers and to send out

>in total with a colour cover and content pages in mono. I'm assuming there

>I'd appreciate input from all of you and off-list please about the sort of
>content you'd like to see and what you feel is a reasonable annual
>subscription rate to include mail. Use your own currency by all means - but
>tell me what it is. As a guideline, to get one mag to a reader in the US or
>Aust/NZ will probably cost about GBP 3.50 (US$5.25). It may be possible to
>reduce this cost a bit by offsetting advertising revenue but I doubt this
>offset will be excessive. You responses awaited with interest.
>By all means circulate this post to other lists you may subscribe to within
>the following makes - Austin, Austin Healey, Land Rover, MG, Morris, Riley,
>Rover, Standard, Triumph, Vanden Plas and Wolseley. I need replies from all
>enthusiasts.
>I have no personal financial interest in this venture, other than the fact
>that it is an increase in responsibility in my job.
