Tell your mate I'll give him a tenner and he doesn't have to drive me anywhere! I might even consider a small tip as well!

I would hazard a guess that it is worth well into 3 figures.

What a fantastic piece of automobilia

Buzzy..........consider the following exchange between my father-in-law and myself....(I`m in blue)

"Do you know what this is?"
"Of course I do. It`s an antique oil bottle from the 1930s".
"What did you pay for that?"
"$38.00".
"You`re a fool. We used to throw stuff like that away!"
"Do you know WHY I paid $38.00? Because people like you used to throw them away, and now they are collectible and hard to find!"

I feel your pain, Buzzy! LOL!

What a superb brochure!. Thanks for posting it John.

The guarantee must have been written by one of Jeremy Clarkson's relatives. It's invalidated if you tow a caravan. Laughing

He does have more Rick. From what we know at least another 4 or 5 Shocked Apparently his father used to drive Bentleys and these were the brochures he received when he bought the cars.
I would also guess that if he gave this one away for a £5 fare then it would be the worst one in the pack.....I wonder what the rest are like Very Happy
