Hi,
I hope no-one minds me starting a new thread full of pictures
My Grandfather was in the trade and we're clearing out the premises, he never threw anything out!
I've collected a pile of Brochures, price lists, etc which I have started to scan in, I hope they are of interest?

Nope, doing nothing for me I'm afraid, can't see a thing.
In any case, wouldn't it be better to upload them to a host site and provide a single link rather than post them all, one by one, here? |

I wasn't sure how best to do it, I've only scanned a few at the moment.
They are all in my Photobucket folder and I can just post them there if that's a better plan?

Lovely stuff! Can't help wondering about the source of that small 'fleet' of red Minis for sale.
I am fascinated by the typography and copywriting of this sort of material, sadly that is an art that's gone somewhat 'to the dogs' since the prevailance of IT. (IMHO that is) |

No pictures for me as well. Even the Photobucket link just produces 56 blank thumbnails?

Okay Rick, I'll keep posting them here as I scan them.
Photobucket doesn't seem too reliable at the moment. Maybe time to move to Flickr
Can the people having problems, see the photos in my other albums / threads here?

Some nice brochures there
Some years ago, I was allowed to go through the remains of an old car collector,s estate, after he passed away.
I found 30 - 50 old car brochures, going back to the early 50ies.
Unfortunally did I not get to see it all , as some kids set fire to the building.
There were especially one bookshelf I had my eyes on, it was 14 feet long, and 4 feet high, filled with motor magazines from the 40 & 50ies.
Really bugged me that all those mags was lost.
There were even brochures from the launch of the Mini in 1959 (both Austin & Morris) and some nice VW type 2 brochures.
I sold a few some years ago, but still have a portfolio filled. _________________ http://www.eurods.eu/wp/index.html |
