I think it was to entice new readers. Restart at 1 and people might think they're getting in on something new rather than reading something that's been around since before they were born. I don't think it really worked though. After a dozen or so issues they stopped creating new content, for the most part. New issues now contain mostly stuff reprinted from previous issues, with only a little bit of new content.

Looking through my back issues, British Editor David Climie continued in that role until Issue no. 165. For issue 166 a new British Editor Dez Skinn took over. I’m guessing 1975ish, as all issues were undated with no copyright dates either.

Edit: David Climie was UK editor from issue no.1 (1959) to no. 165 (Jan 1976).
