Old Car Brochures

Yep. Quite a few. I had some lovely 90's Porsche hardback brochures too but they went in my mad phase of selling them a few years back. Other hardbacks I have are BMW, Range Rover, Audi A8 amongst others.

Wibble. I had a MASSIVE thing for MB as I was growing up

I've some mint condition Mercedes brochures from the 90's too. In fact, I need to start scaling my collection down as it's in boxes, in the loft and has been in this and my previous 3 houses. Never see the light of day. I've a load of CAR magazines from the late 80's and early 90's too.

My BMW collection will never go though!

...if you need some help to dispose of the brochures feel free to pm me! (that's how the thread started )

Haha, I was going to ask what he had too Happy to provide remuneration too.

My son has the VIP brochure for the McLaren MP4 12C, but there is more of a chance of him driving one than letting that go!

Sadly they're not archived. There are so many it scares me to think of starting going though them to archive them. If there is anything specific you want just ask and I'll look at sorting them out and parting with some.

I'm also hunting out a brochure for the cars I used to own.

That's pretty much the first thing I do when I get another car - hunt for the relevant model year brochure so I'm glad I'm not alone......

Negative Creep said:

On that note, does anyone have any of the following:

Citroen ZX(late 90s)

they don't want?

Ohh I did have one of those - pretty sure I didn't throw it out either but where the heck it is - lord knows, I'll bookmark the thread in the hope that I come across it

Seeing as requests are OK

Anyone got a 2001 Mercedes SLK230 one it's proving a little more elusive than I had thought.

Oh and I may still have a lovely Alfa 164 one that I tried to offer in the Alfa specific area for the cost of postage with no takers - don't think there are any left now

[traffman]

I used to collect them , i have the skyline r34 , audis of various types , aston v8 , ferrari , subaru original prezza , lotus sunbeam , astra gte 16 v , type r honda and some others.

Since I last posted I've updated my collection somewhat, now all I need of my old fleet is the Honda Ascot (Japan only, although there is a brochure on ebay but it's £15!!) and the MX5 (which in mk.1 form is surprisingly hard to find)

I've begun to scan my collection in. Don't expect any supercars though, I'm more interested in 80's and 90's everyday stuff. Links so far:

I've got a Mk1 Focus RS one - with a number of preview postcards leading up to it - sent to me something like one a month for a few months before it was launched.

Actually i have just looked through my Audi brochure collection, and i already have it along with the R8 brochure, sorry but thanks for offering it anyway.

Do you have the RS6?

For some reason (I was about 16 when it was on sale) I have a hardback brochure for the RS6 (C5) at my parents. I could dig it out if it was of interest.

Used to collect them as a kid ('70s) but got rid of them all in the '80s.

Since then I've only grabbed up one - the original launch brochure for the McLaren F1 (from the Sporting Club, Monaco - I think?) Lovely print quality, stunning photography and still pristine in its box. So nice I don't like to open it up fully for fear of putting cracks down the spine.

OK, i'll try and find it next time i'm back there.

[Alfa numeric]

My parents have just discovered my childhood collection whilst clearing out their loft- it's mainly generic Ford and Volvo brochures from 1987-91 (I think I have a complete set from that period) but there's also a few interesting ones. I've got one for the Capri 280, the BMW Z1 launch brochure from the motorshow (two actually, one's got ink splodges on it from a fountain pen explosion), Mini 30 and a few older ones like an early Alfa 33 one and a few 70's BL ones. I've also got a pack Alfa sent me containing a video of Tiff Needell talking about the Alfa 164 and an original Audi A8 launch brochure in an aluminium case. Are they worth anything?

Once I've sorted them out (although knowing how OCD I was then they'll probably be in manufacturer, model AND date order) I'll let you know what's there.
