Looking for a copy of Pagoda World Issue #6 to complete my set.  Will consider a full collection or partial collection if it includes Issue #6.

Available back issues were last updated in October, 2017 with availability limited to issues 12 thru 21 at that time. 

Instructions were included for requests in the post.

Look for this info under the announcement thread...  https://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?board=8.0

Issue #7 is available on-line through the website at  https://www.sl113.org/membership/PagodaWorld07.pdf

Is there more current information on back issue availability?

Thanks Garry, in early 2018 when I checked, very early issues were no longer available from the group.  Occasionally members have offered issues for sale, one set went early this week but without #6. This prompted me to post again.  Waiting patiently!😕

The Committee is looking at putting together a dual set of Pagoda World. An announcement will me made some time in the new year but it looks like it will be something like issues 1-12 and 13 to 24 as a single book set. 


We will seek interest when we are more certain of how and when.

I have a copy of Volume VI, Fall 2005 if that is the one you are missing. I am more than happy to pass this on to you. The Chief Operating Officer is not a fan of my document retention policy in relation to motoring memorabilia.

Thanks Andrew, yes that is the one.  It appears that Issue 5 and 6 were captioned “Volume 5” and “Volume 6.”

I also hear regularly from my COO on my memorabilia but I am to old to change and, so far, have stubbornly soldiered on!

PM sent.

I have given up on trying to retain car magazines with the exceptional of a collection of original brochures covering each car I have owned.

My focus is currently on trying to keep the cars themselves where a pre-retirement cull is frequently mentioned and each completely essential member of the fleet evaluated against stark KPIs: miles covered in last 12 months; maintenance spend in last 12 months; French crit air environmental category etc.
