Site with information about British car brochures and adverts (....................loading can take a while)
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.

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
