Default Car Brochures

Hi all,
My father passed away in 2005 after a brief battle with Cancer. He was a bit of a hoarder and collected many different things. My brothers and I have been sifting through these things recently and I have come across some "new" car brochures which he has collected. These range from many different manufactures and models. Would you be interested in me scanning these in and posting them up here?

Some notable examples include the 1964 Nissan Cedric, sedan and wagon; the Leyland P76, Mini's, Austin Healy Sprite, Datsun's, and a few others. Some other examples are the Falcon range dating back to probably the 60's up to the BA's, a lot of Holden brocures, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Hyundai and Mazda.

Please note that this will take a while for me to do if you wish for them as I can only do them at night time after work and probably only an hour or so a night.

Let me know and I can possibly start tomorrow night.

An Example

The Cedric leaflet mentions something about the covered spare tire "from a tool room" what does this mean exactly??

Thanx...

By the looks of it, I think it means the covered spare tire houses tools behind it (i.e. tool room, room for tools)

These are great. A step back in time, it's interesting see the advancements in technology during those years. What looks fairly simple I guess was something new and something to get excited about. keep em coming. These are fantastic.

Sorry to hear about your loss.
The P76 ones are great! My Grandfather whos 82 now, was the manager of quality control at Leylands during, before and after the P76 era. As much as people have hung s@#t on them, they were a great car, but only arrived on the scene at the wrong time.

Your grandfather worked with my father - I presume he's a member of the BMC-Leyland ex employees group. Its great keeping some of the old brochures as well as car mags to compare things over time. I have most of the BMC ones too plus a Force 7 Drivers Handbook - that would be rare!

The Mini is pretty close to the top of the pile. Should be up the next lot that I do.

As for being for sale, no, not at this point in time.
