- details of collection: I started collecting car brochures in 1975 and now have well over 100.000 in my collection including duplicates and press packs from motor shows I have visited over past years. I now concentrate on collecting post-war brochures on rare sports/exotic cars (Ferrari / Lamborghini / Iso / Bizzarrini / Pegaso / Maserati / Porsche - 1950's & 1960's), as well as rare luxury brands such as Jaguar (1950's & 1960's) / Facel Vega / Zil / Chaika etc etc.
Also anything unusual such as bubble cars and rare makes. I have many thousands of UK, European, American, Japanese etc. brochures to trade or sell for items I need and I do have extensive Excel spreadsheet lists of all my duplicates. I am always searching for brochures not yet in my collection, so drop me an e-mail if you are like minded. I also trade some duplicates on Ebay under username Brochureboy1. My other main interest is music. I have been playing drums for nearly 30 years both semi-pro and pro. At the moment I play in a rock band in the Essex and Suffolk areas of England.

- details of collection: I have been collecting car brochures since 1986 and now have over 15,000. Most are UK sourced and cover all manufacturers. My main interests are VW, Audi, BMW and Porsche. Highlights are a McLaren F1, Porsche 917, Ferrari Mythos Book and many more rare and exotic brochures. Storage became a problem, so I decided to start selling some of them on Ebay. This has proved to be very successful, with my trading name cpt_splash. I have sold over 17,000 brochures to date. I have also just launched my new website, which will give collectors information and links to other sites.
