Rummaging around in my cupboards today and I found these. Forgot I had them! Genuine Motor Show brochures (well leaflets, anyway) from yesteryear. Reckon they're worth something?

Well that Victor got to the Arc de Triomphe without the crank sensor going:  


Sorry about the flash reflection on this one:


Ah, yes, the motorway age! Doesn't look like the M25 to me...


Take a minivan, add glass and wood and hey presto...a Countryman!


What a range! Was the A40 the first hatchback?


Last, but not least, one for Hotel21. Probably better than the Beamer tractors they use now

I can remember being taken to the Motor Show in the early fifties from an uncle's house in Swiss Cottage in his Humber Super Snipe when I was a young man lodging with them when working in London. Felt like a million dollars.
My car was a 1932 side valve 8HP Ford Popular, (in black, of course) which ended its days when a half-shaft broke. My father cut the bodywork up with a lever type can opener wedged in a piece of copper pipe, and took it to a tip bit by bit,to save the cost of having it taken away. (Really!).
Don't know about the monetary value of these items, but they're priceless as mementoes of the era.

Yes, I think I've got a shed load of Tiger, Jag and Wizard comics up in the loft somewhere. Remember Roy of the [Melchester] Rovers? If he's still around we need him now in the England squad.

Austin A40, great, we had one once. I set it on fire welding underneath, I forgot to move the trim inside   . And a half shaft went, I managed to get one from a scrappy, but it was chucking it down when I had to refit. The car was needed the next day, so there was I, lying on my back under the car, with a river of water running down my boiler suit. All good fun!.
