W.O.K.R.  STARTER  INDEX

(1960 to Date)

Past Issues of the STARTER contain valuable information for both old and new members alike!

Handy Hint: To search this Index, press Control and F keys, (Ctrl + F) , to bring up a search tool.

STARTERS from the last decade feature high quality photographic resolution on heavy weight paper.  This high quality of printing together with interesting and varied topics have made the STARTER a recipient of the much coveted "Golden Quill" award from "Old Cars".

Many of these STARTERS will become collectors items in the future as they contain previously unpublished information, period adverts and photographs that reflect just some of the material available to W.O.K.R. members via the Library archives.

To order back issues, please refer to WOKR Sales and Literature Page.

Please note that this index does not include Chapter or Editorial type articles as it is assumed that such information would be obtained from a members local Chapter.  This index has however, tried to emphasise specific makes and models referred to in articles as an aid for members trying to identify which back issues relate to their specific vehicle.  This Index shows no Issue numbers till 1977 as formal numbering did not commence till Issue 62.
