MGB roadster 1977
My running car is an MGB roadster of 1977. It is a rubber bumper which originally was delivered in Beverly Hills. In 1990 the car was imported to Holland. At that time the car must have been changed to the shape it is in still now. According to the information given to me by the British Heritage trust the car originally has been delivered in the color british racing green, autumn leaf interior, wire wheels and white wall tires. Now the car is MG red with black interior. The wire wheels are still on, but the white wall tyres have changed to black. This car I drive in the weekends and during Holidays. We travel with the car to car events in the northern Part of Holland and Germany.
MG TD 1951
My car for restoration is a MG TD which is build in 1951. The car is an original Californian black plate car, with original 1250 cc XPAG engine. The car and engine are complete number matching with the original type plates. The car is delivered to Lawndale California in 1951. The car was on the road for the first time in 1952. The car changed from owner ones in 1968. At that time the car was re-painted to aubergine and the interior was made black. The car drove with this new colours till 1972. Since then it stood still, after I have bought beginning 2005. The original colour of the car is MG red, with beige interior en tan hood. The steel of the car is in excellent shape, but al rubber parts are gone and the interior of the car was also in bad shape because of the burning sun. The retortion is in progress. I hope that the car is up and running again within a few years. For more information about the restoration, see the restoration paragraph on this web page.
Doepke MG TD
Our son in his Moskvitch 408
Our son Tim is already an Classic Car enthusiast, here he drives his Moskvitch 408 with pride.
My father, brother in law and me have bundled our hobbies. My father crazy for old mechanical techniques, my brother in law crazy for fire fighting and me crazy for cars. We thought it seemed to be the most optimal if we are going to collect some fire fighters. The first car was bought soon, a Dodge ladder truck build in 1945, with Geessink ladder package. The nicest thing about this car is that the stairs are operated only by hand by use of handles and wheels. Therefore it is almost like a dinky toy scale 1:1. Once the collection was existing 5 fire engines in total. A Dodge T110 L 1945 ladder truck, Dodge T110 L 1947, Commer 1954, Chevrolet 1955 and Daf 1963. Most of the cars are sold now. The Commer of 1954 and the Dodge T110 L with ladder is left.

About me
My name is Hermann Egges. I am collecting car brochures and advertisements since I was a little child.
First I collected articles and adverts of cars out of news papers and magazines. After that I went to local car dealers to get the brochures of the cars, showed in their show rooms. I was a happy child if I left the dealer with one or more brochures in my hand. These were the first brochures collected, which are still today in my private collection. This means that the collection of brochures starts in the late seventies up till now.
I try to search for people who have the same interest for car advertisemnets and brochures as I do. I would like to share experiences and information and hope to get in contact to interchange brochures with each other. In this way I try to enlarge the private collection of my and the collection of people I get in contact with.
All brochures shown on my web-page are out of my own collection. I have made photographs of them and made collages as shown on the web-page. More than 2.500 advertisements and more than 1.000 brochures are shown at my web page.
I hope you will enjoy my web-page.
Kind Regards
Hermann Egges
