As I was using older cars I was going by the older cars Parkers Guide that my opinion is going to be based on today. Advertisements. These are kept to a minimum there are exactly 3 pages of advertisements which is far from many. Some of the advertisements can be help as they are based on motoring e.g. ...
...labour mechanical insurance’. Index. On page 3 each there is an index with each manufacturer with the page number to find certain cars quickly. Most of the cars only have a few pages so it’s easy to find most. Personally I don’t bother with the index as all the pages are in alphabetical order. News from the market place. These have headlines for example “super mini sums add up”. This section is mainly information like ...
