Pages from the Magazine:
There are ninety pages which includes the inside front and the inside back covers which are both printed. The images are black and white, exploded diagrams and clear, similar to the Haynes manuals but better. However I recommend a magnifying glass to see the details and numbering as they are quite small.
The cars covered are the 1965 to 1973 all models. The sections are grouped by year for the electrical, doors, engine, gearbox etc. It’s a bit random to be honest but the part numbers are all there.

In its day this cost $5, when I looked that up in todays money it works out to roughly $42. Even by todays standards that quite a lot of money for what it is. There isn’t really much more to say than this is information catalog for parts only, no history, no reasoning just every bit of the car numbered.
I’m only really interested in the 1966 obviously, but to have the classic generations all numbered in one place is rather cool. I dare say these parts have long been out of production and no longer exist except in NOS if you’re lucky. Reproduction parts will almost certainly have a different number.
However, if you are looking for a particular part and are trying to explain it. A photo of the area and highlight it could well help you out.
