I enjoy collecting foreign car brochures. (I'm in the USA)

I have an excellent Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 Press Kit
an Skyline R33 GT-R brochure from the UK
a plethora of UK Lotus brochures Elise/Esprit
Qvale Mangusta (first year)
Audi S3 (dutch)
Opel Speedster (dutch)
MGF (dutch)
Ferrari F40 (dutch, italian, german, english)

I have many more brochures than just this... I have a 3-level filing cabinet with 2 drawers full and the third about halfway there... all alphebetized. I'm guessing I have around 300-350 brochures in all. I don't really know the exact number, I haven't counted for over 2 years.

and today, to add to my collection, I received in the mail a UK 350Z brochure... and my first from Australia, Holden Commodore and Monaro brochures


If anybody else gets into brochure collecting, tell us what you have!
 
I got the WHOLE Mercedes 2005 North American line up with the exception of the SLR since I cant find it! :( I got the 2005 Nissan and Toyota and Honda lineup as well! I also have Audi. Thats all I rember off the top of my head. :D
 
I used to collect until it started becoming a big pile of crap...

I think I have all kinds of Toyota brochures of individual cars and line ups between 92-02
Same with Chrysler and it's divisions.

I have a bunch of rare Viper brochures and news paper clipings

My most recent "collection" has been on Scion stuff. I've got 5 out of 3 of the scion cd samplers too.
 
Hey you just reminded my VipFreak! I have the Whole GM line up brochure for 2005! :D

5 out of 3? Don't you mean 3 out of 5, or have my math teachers been teaching me my numbers wrong?

I think its just you. ;) BTW I only have one of those Scion DVD's they suck! :yuck:
 
I have a Lexus and a Jaguar brochure. You can get them from their websites. Any other websites where you can get a car brochure?
 
http://diablosixoh.8m.com is my old (very old!) car brochure site. I don't even know what's there anymore, but usually you can either get brochures by calling manufacturers or from their websites.
 
I think there was a thread on this before, but I just got a brochure for the Lister Storm a couple of weeks ago. I also have some old AMC and a ton of old Cadillac ones, as well as my collecting them from the autoshow every year. I've got quite a few - they're so fun to collect! My grandparents even have a friend in the US who lets me use his address to send American ones to that they will pick up next time they visit...
