AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage magazine is an original copy of "Moto Journal," issue number 85, dated September 28, 1972. The cover, deliberately graphic with its red and yellow lettering on a black and white background, features a group photograph centered on the world of sport motorcycles. Several men, some in red racing suits, are gathered around a competition motorcycle. The main title "Spain: Nieto, two-time world champion" appears in bright yellow, highlighting the main subject of this issue dedicated to the famous Spanish rider Angel Nieto.

The upper left part of the cover mentions the period price (2.50 F) and the frequency of publication ("Every Thursday"), while the upper right corner features a yellow banner announcing an "auto Moto" test in a black box. On the left edge, typical of magazines from this period, are the prices for various French-speaking countries.

The overall aesthetic is faithful to the graphic codes of the early 70s, with a dynamic layout and saturated colors. The paper, although not specified, has the usual matte appearance of old motorcycle magazines. The cover photo, typical of sports photojournalism, shows clear details of the racing motorcycle (front part, fork, front tire, partially visible fairing), as well as the concentrated expressions of the people present.

The inscriptions on the cover are perfectly legible: "Moto Journal," "Spain: Nieto two-time world champion," "No. 85 - 28 Sept. 1972." No other text or brand logo is visible on this side.

The magazine is photographed on an old library background, which highlights its retro and authentic character. The visual condition shows a still vibrant cover, with no apparent tears, although slight wear and tear consistent with its age can be assumed (slightly marked edges and corners).

Condition

Used magazine, sold as is. Slight traces of wear visible on the cover, slightly marked corners. No major apparent defects on the visible side.
