Nice motors, nice brochures, could be worth a Bob or two, to the right person. :)

Yes, beautiful cars in beautiful colours (not black or silver). I have a few duplicates as well.

Could possibly be persuaded, not sure if I’ve a duplicate of that one.

They are amazing brochures, really highlighting the engineering and safety. Rather than the lifestyle...

That’s after they moved from the Viaduct. Older ones from Barrow IIRC

I left the army in Dec 81 & I was in Germany for my last 3 years, my intention was to buy a new 123 240D tax free & bring it home with me.You have to keep them abroad for a year to qualify for a tax free import, so mid 1980 I started looking. At the time we were keen caravaners & I had a Renault 16TX, the Renault 20TS had just won tow car of the year award. A good friend of mine had one 3 months old, & had just been promoted & posted to the UK. He needed to sell it otherwise he would have to pay all the tax on it. He offered it to me at a silly price, & remember buying it rather than the 240D saved me £1000. At the time I thought an extra £1000 in the bank was the safest option leaving the army, so deal done. The 20TS was a good reliable car for the 7 years I had it, but it was a rust bucket. I don't know why because others of the the same ago weren't & it was garaged every night.

Cheers ..... but sonic & I had/drove B Series Senators ;)
Nice to see the genesis though from Viceroy and Royale to Senator. I’ve some Monza brochures as well. They were very nice.
