Our Touring Past

I was in the post office the other day and spotted this stamp collection that has an FJ in one of them, so being the FJ tragic that Iam I just had to get them.

I've always had a bit of an interest in stamps and often get odd ones that interest me but I don't keep up to date and this is one lot that I never saw and never got a letter with any of them on it either. With so few letters these days I think a lot of stamps are just passing us by.

This is a rare one too, produced by Keith Winsor. Published in Motor Manual August, 1950, it was part of an article about cars from different countries as I recall with an illustration and their purchase price as the face value of the stamp. Shame it was never produced as a stamp, I reckon it's a fine design myself, couldn't be any more Australian. George
