Old Car Brochures
Discussion
Apologies if I have got this wrong, but other that the odd model-specific post, there appears to be no thread for posting up old car brochures - something that many of us would enjoy looking at (and chuckling about!). I am sure that most of us have a few - they are much better on here for all to enjoy, than sitting on your bookshelf gathering dust, or sitting in a drawer.... so post away!
To get the ball rolling I am going to post the Peugeot 305 - my father bought a 305S in 1981 - not a brilliant car really, as it didn't even manage to last a decade. But it was comfy in the way that French cars once were, and as it is car in which I took/passed my driving test I have affection for it:

I used to have quite a collection of BMC and BL stuff but let most of it go, this one was my favourite despite being fairly plain compared to most....
Although the brochure above is for the Mk2 Coopers the original photo they used is of a Mk1 with the front end retouched to show the new grille shape!
The literature for the Mk3 S was equally plain looking and used a retouched photo of the Mk2....

Not sure how I missed this thread? I still have loads of old car brochures (and other collectable paraphernalia) from over many years.
Some I've sold when it becomes daft (prices).
This is more modern ('almost' 20 yrs ago) but I still like it.
Superbly and nicely put together, free mini disc, and best of all a pin badge.
Limited numbered edition 500, even signed by chairman and MD.
