Guys
The UK magazine 'Practical Classics' has produced a special XJS guide. Lots of interesting stuff in it, including some of Malcolm Sayers' original design sketches. I believe the mag is sold throughout the "Empire' countries, but anyone who wants one can order one from them direct.

Thank you for posting this!

I just ordered both the standard edition and the special edition which includes a poster with what I believe is a cutaway view of the XJS.

BTW...here is the direct link to order these;

Partnership > store7526

I hope they wrap them nicely so they will survive the trip across the pond.

Thanks Greg, I ordered the special addition, can't wait for it to arrive.

 

As did I thanks Greg. Now the painful part, waiting.

 

Let us know if it arrives in good shape and worth the effort...
thanks,
Ken

 

Thanks for the post, placed my order for both. Can't wait for them

 

Received my already, pretty fast turn around. Just had a quick look but it looks like it has some interesting articles included. Nice cut away of the XJS included with the collectors edition.

 

Thanks Greg, I ordered two mags

 

Thank you so much Greg! I never would have found these on my own. Ordered both and can't wait!

I ordered one of each. Turns out it's the same magazine with a different cover. The collectors edition comes with a small cut away poster. Nice find though, thanks for making all of us aware this was available.

 

Mine arrived today. Reading them now.

In my Collectors Edition I noticed something interesting on page 3. There is what looks like a hand written note from Paul Skilleter that reads;

"Congratulations! You have bought the 300th and last book! Paul Skilleter"

Is mine the only one that has that note? Anyone else have a note on page 3?

I received mine on Friday #295 no note. I have read 3/4 of it. Love the poster it will be framed shortly and hanging prominently in my office. I'm wondering if I should order the other as well . Is there any additional information contained in it?

 

No need to order the standard edition. It has the same content as the collectors edition.

That being said, I am reading the standard edition so as not the put any wear on my collectors edition. Want to keep it nice. ;-)

Thanks Greg for the info. I ordered both and cant wait for them to arrive

 

thanks bud. Just saw this now.

I hope it isnt too late to place an order. Gonna order the special edition today if I can.

 

I just tried and it wouldn't accept that card that has the money in it. Sent them an email and am waiting for a reply

 

Wow. Special Edition still available. I finally ordered mine yesterday. On it's way to down under!

 

I ordered mine Feb. 23, 2015 and received it today Mar. 3, 2015. My cost was 23 pounds (US $35.33). Really, Really nice magazine about a truly one of a kind automobile. Thanks for the heads up on this offer!

 

Yeah mine worked out to be $45 AUD including postage. I hope it is good cause it's bloody expensive for a magazine!

 

Thanks for the tip!
Just ordered both, they still had them, can't wait.

Cheers,
