Car Sales Brochures
This page is giving some background on my hobby of collecting car sales brochures. I have been collecting this type of publicity material already since the late 1960s. Since then I have been able to add an average of around 1.200 different items each year to my personal collection which has consequently grown to about 46.600 different passenger car and 3.400 light truck items at the end of 2005. I have acquired most of my collection by the following methods:
visiting car dealer showrooms and car exhibitions in Holland and in other countries, also during vacations and business trips- trading with other Dutch collectors in person at swap meets
- trading with other foreign collectors through the mail
- since the last few years: bidding on Internet auction offers (mainly eBay).
For a nice article about collecting car sales brochures I suggest you read the article in Classic & Sportscar of March 1988, 6 well illustrated colour pages with pictures of 5 different collectors and some of their nicest pieces of literature.
For the German (speaking) collectors I noticed a nice article in Top Driver of January 1988 with also 6 well illustrated colour pages.
my TVR 280i Convertible in the summer of 2000
My favourite car makes are the following: TVR (on position one), Austin-Healey, Bentley, Gilbern, Lotus, Matra, Marcos, Rolls Royce, Trident, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Acura, Infiniti, Lexus, Honda, Volkswagen and Volvo. I however still collect all passenger car makes as long as I have the space to store all of them.
For a complete listing of all known TVR car sales literature: click here.
I collect all passenger cars, sportscars and light truck sales literature from all countries in the world! As I have acquired many duplicates over the past years I am always interested to trade these duplicates against items that are new to me. For a list of items I want to trade go to the table below or click here.

An impressive line-up of Modena's on the Nürburgring in 2000
The photo above is made at the Nürburgring in Germany at the yearly "Oldtimer" Rennen in August 2000, where the German Ferrari club always has a large presentation. Many owners of the new 360 Modena joined there on the club carpark and it's a large meeting place for lovers of this fine car make. There will not be many places where more Ferrari's can be viewed in one spot.
