eBay I would have thought.

But if you have any Audi Quattro or TR6 brochures I'll take them off your hands.

You'll regret it one day! The things I've disposed of and then needed. I'll never get rid of the Lynx brochure collection though.

Rare beasts, alloy dasboard 3.8 coupés. No idea, but just keep searching. I've dropped someone a line who might know and if so I'll write.

Ebay is definitely the best place if you want to sell them one by one and you can be bothered to pack and post them individually. At any point in time there are about 35000 brochures on the UK site, although 90% of these are on a buy it now basis (ie a set price rather than auction). Relatively few items attract any bids at all because far too many of the brochures are either still available free in the dealers or are simply not collectable. Would you want to buy last year's Kia brochures?!

Selling a brochure collection as a job lot is a challenge if you want to get reasonable money for them. Just before the advent of ebay I had to sell the majority of my collection (3000 brochures) and achieved about 20% of market value...and they were definitely collectable.

How many you have to sell and how quickly you want them gone will determine the best course of action.

Hi Billy,

Are you looking for a project or a completed and running car?

My nephew started collecting brochures a couple of years ago. If you don’t go down the selling separately route please PM me the details including prices as I expect he would like them.

If you're willing to sell then seperately then a list would be great...

Truly a scent for every occasion, including the chaperoned first date to the cinema.
