Art & Articles

In addition there are too numerous to list back copies of Classic Car& Practical Classics magazines, ask and it may be there.

The Librarian keeps a record of borrowers and will arrange delivery at a mutually agreed venue, postage can be arranged for those who do not attend gatherings or are well outside the metropolitan area.

A fairly comprehensive collection of Sprite Torque is also held dating back to the 70’s. Please ask our Librarian if searching for data, you never know what we may be able to find, there is a wealth of Sprite information and club history held in these magazines.

To borrow an item or ask a question about the library, please contact Dave Lawrence by email or phone on (02) 9810 8982.
