End of original 'series'. Title merges with Joe 90: Top Secret to become TV21 & Joe 90.

In early 1969, Century 21 Publishing brought out 'All About Cars' (And Motoring, as the spine read), compiled in association with Corgi Toys. In content, if not in name, this is pretty much a 'Corgi Model Club' annual, and as with other books in the Century 21 range, tried to be very comprehensive. Of the most interest to would-be collectors were the final five pages, giving a 'Historical Check-List' of all the cars, vehicles and sets Corgi Toys had produced since they were introduced in 1956 - almost 400 in total.

Art editor Roger Perry was given a complete set of the Corgi range, and photographs of these (taken on his son Marcus' model train set to give a scale back drop) accompany the features on famous cars and drivers, aspects of motoring and related fiction.

The third and final part will cover the end of 1969, through to 1971.
