Petrol Ration Book 1101 - 1500cc - Complete and Unused 1956 or 73



CURRENTLY AT AUCTION.

Motor fuel was rationed briefly during the 1956 Suez crisis. Ration books were issued at that time but many remained unused and were issued again at the time of the 1973 oil crisis following the Yom Kippur war. Newer versions were also used, referring to the Minister of Technology rather than to the Minister of Power as the earlier ones did. This book is Serial Number MH4 174956 and is for a Motor Car between 1101 and 1500 cc.

Condition is good, no tears, staples still good.

Weight with packaging: 50g.
