I’ve previously been aware that Rootes’ own magazine was ‘Modern Motoring and Travel’.
But here’s a Sunbeam and Talbot magazine from 1934 (before the Rootes take-over) called just ‘Modern Travel’.
And I’ve found a 1932 Rootes magazine called ‘Modern Motoring’.
I’m now speculating that Rootes brought together the magazines as well as the cars, and that the ‘Modern Motoring and Travel’ name was a combination of the names of these two earlier magazines.
Here’s the first few pages. I intend to scan the rest soon.
