- details of collection: My collection is of car brochures mostly from the 70s and 80s and collected from the UK. Features Ford, MG, Rover, Triumph, Austin Morris, Jaguar, Vauxhall plus other European makes such as Citroen, Peugeot, Renault plus some others and includes some advertising by products such as Castrol.
I also have some UK magazines “Custom Car” and “Street Machine” (at least the complete first four years including the very first issue).
I am now in Australia awaiting delivery of them in my shipment of personal belongings and have yet to catalogue the complete collection. If anyone is interested I am keen to sell individually or as a collection, although postage to Europe may be prohibitive.

- details of collection: My main focus is
collecting interesting BMW brochures from all over the world. I have been
collecting for over 15 years and have a good selection of duplicate world BMW
brochures available for swapping. I have many Australian market brochures
(Holden/Ford/Chrysler) and UK/European and Asian brands sold in
Australia – with some going back to
the 1950s.) available for swapping as well. I also have many USA brochures
from the 1940s onwards available.
I'm keen to make contact with collectors in South Africa, Japan, Saudi Arabia - and generally throughout Asia, USA and UK/Europe.
