  • in 2015, someone paid £147 for a 1965 copy of TV World with Diana Rigg as Emma Peel of The Avengers on the cover.
  • Two years earlier, a 1954 copy of Blighty with Diana Dors on the cover fetched £25.69;
  • a 1926 Christmas Radio Times fetched £74 whereas the first Radio Times Dr Who cover pulled in 33 bids to reach £509.99;
  • £31 was paid in 2009 for a copy of Tit-Bits featuring Raquel Welch, Honor Blackman and Robert Powell from 1979 – it originally cost 12p. Copies of Tit-Bits are more likely to fetch £5-£10.
  • The priciest combination is Sherlock Holmes in the Strand Magazine - an 1891 copy fetched £540; it's the unbound copies that achieve the best prices on eBay.

I you reckon that piccies of an old Plus 8 are worth more than those of Diana Rigg, Honor Blackman and Racquel Welch - well clearly you are a bit too far gone for saving! grin2

Read the article today in Tesco's library, and it didnt read that well. Rebuilds at 15000 miles if I remember, and they werent talking about just the engine but body off chassis jobs. Wives wincing as you go over bump and that was an owners speaking.
