Vintage and classic motorcycle blog. Documentation of a life-long two wheel passion. Tales from the workshop, period photos, brochures, event reports, rides and anything else two-wheel related. Keeps me sane whilst working at sea.
Another edition of that venerable journal, 'Power Pak News'! It seems like Power Pak had a penchant for delivering advertising material in newspaper form - see the 'Financial Edition' from 1953. The Power Pak folks hitting you with raw facts!
The scan is slightly crinkly, but as ever if viewing from a pc, right click, open the image in a new window and click on to enlarge to full res.
Advertising material in newspaper format - that old gambit to make your message seem more authoritative...
In this case the good people of Power Pak are persuading you that their cyclemotors are unfeasibly cheap and that they don't chew up tyres as popular rumour might have it.
The brochure is undated but the Power Pak was introduced in Spring 1950 and there is a testimonial contained within stating 2 and a half years of use. The price of the Power Pak was reduced to 25 Guineas in early 1953 so it's a fair assumption that this edition of Power Pak News was published marking this price reduction.
