Brad's Car Brochure Collection

Post by Very Tall Brad » Fri Oct 29, 2010 10:30 am

Anyone interested?

I have collected since 1969 and have tons of car brochures - literally. We estimated 6 tons of brochures and magazines when we moved house in 2003 - not sure how many now. Anyway, there are about 70,000 car brochures to dispose of...here's a link...

I also have complete sets of CAR, AUTOCAR, MOTOR, CLASSIC AND SPORTSCAR etc (mainly 1969 to around 2003 and incomplete sets from 2003 to date.

These are now selling, slowly.

Sold two Audi quattro brochures for £29 so not a bad start. Just another 69,998 to go...

Sorry, I have no Rover brochures for sale at all.

The bulk of non-Rover brochures have been sold to two dealers and I have about 3000 left which I shall be keeping.

Sorry

I have decided to open an EBay shop which I reluctantly did last week. I feel it's like I am feeding the devil by doing this but...hey ho...they have the marketplace cornered right now so I have little choice, I guess.

What I am selling are car brochures and magazines. I thought I had around 3,500 brochures but miscalculated and, having had a proper chance to look at what I have, I would guess that I still have close to 10,000. PLUS 44 years worth of car magazines.

I have priced everything far too high but with "Make an offer" options on them all. This is proving to be okay.

Here's a link.

Do you have anything that would be relevant to my August 1987 Montego? I have the Cars brochure with the Maestro doing a wheelie, but anything else like colour guides/price lists/dealer accessory and lifestyle brochures etc would be greatly appreciated. If you have such things, what would you be after for them?

Thanks.

Yes, I think I have. I have a chest full of Austin Rover stuff from the mid 80's to 2005. I shall have a rummage.

I look forward to the results! Also, I know it's a long shot but with the amount of cars you've had you're more likely to be able to help than anyone else I can think of.

Do you have anything like a Lex Mead handbook wallet? Pref. Lex Mead Bexleyheath and circa 1987, but I'd consider anything similar. Thanks in advance!

Brad,

Was that in reference to the Lex stuff or to all of it? I'm still after Jul/Aug 87 price lists, colour guides, finance guides, dealer accessory brochures, lifestyle accessories brochures, etc. - basically any dealer paperwork with the exception of the Cars brochure.

Thanks in advance.

Sam

Long time since you asked this question but...

I have found a stash of price lists and colour guides for the Rover range - not just 800 models.

Price lists
28.6.93
19.9.94
3.6.96
15.10.96
2.1.97
1.7.97
22.12.97
19.1.98
1.4.98
12.10.98
19.7.99

and a whole load for 2000 to 2005

Rover range Colour Guides

1. Undated but 1989 I would guess as it covers both 213 and 214 models (also Montego, Maestro, Mini, Vans and 800)
2. Undated but 1989/90 as the 213 has been dropped
3. Undated but 1993, I would guess - includes 200 Coupe and new 600 cars.
