Owner Manuals, Collectables, posters & brochures

I am currently having web-mail difficulties that prevent me from answering or sending email.
You can send an email, but if you do, please include a way I can get back with a number to call and/or text.

Major financial setbacks force me to part with my automobilia treasures.
The wolves are at the door. Please help me out.

Below are some but not all of the marks I have collected.
A few are not in good condition and I will provide an honest description with the pics.
I would expect a $15-$25 average for most of the books, owners and service manuals.
Austin, English Ford, Jaguar, Lancaster 10, MG, Magnette, Morris Minor, Morgan,
Opal Rekord, Rover, Riley, Standard, Triumph, Vauxhall Victor.
Wolseley Princess America 1968-74, and some domestic, i.e. an original 1969 Buick Riviera owners manual.

My most treasured item is a signed #59 Austin Healey Sprite Race Car by John Loftus Design
The piece is 17 x 22 approx. and the car is known as the Airport Racer.

He used the same Image for the 50th Sprite Jubilee promotions.
If you go to http://www.spritespot.com/phpBB3/viewto ... 0&start=45 you will find most of the story.
My copy has never been framed, stapled, folded, rolled or even taken out of it's sealed clear envelope.
You can see the slight glare on the lower center of the photo I took of it.
It is a shame, but I never displayed it so I never got to enjoy it.
Please don't make an offer if it is less than three digits.
I have been searching the interweb for months and can't find another one anywhere, at any price.
Even John Loftus, the photographer, doesn't have any for sale.
He gave me mine, as a bonus, after I sold him a part for a restoration he was doing.
I think he was robbed, but he's still talking to me.
Neither could I find the next items.
Very bad photography, but the better pics don't load to this site.

Jaguar produced this collection of twelve 13" x 17", fastener posters from around 1994.
Each of the fasteners are actual size, full color & labeled with the Jaguar part number.
All the fasteners are grouped like the example above with a category at the top, and they are true to life.
They also have never been matted, framed, folded, rolled or even spent any time in the light.
I wish I could take photographs like these.
This amazing group of posters is not available in stores, or anywhere at any price as far as I can tell.
I also have a MINT, 28 page folio size 1994 Jaguar sales brochure with all models, specifications & options.
The condition and content of this is PERFECT

There is also a 'Media Only' package of the Jaguar line literature from around 2003.

Please send me a text or call, then I can send pics as requested.
Major financial setback forces me to part with my treasures.
Please help me out.

You should be able to simply drag and drop images right into the reply box. There is a size limit of course, so if they are huge then you'll need to reduce the size before posting. There are web sites that do it for you, if you don't have a program to do it on your computer.

Thanks for the info.
They are big files and I'm trying to build a set of smaller files.
Not so sure that can do that due to being a bit tech challenged.

The easiest way for me is to put the pics on my iPhone. Then email the pics to yourself using the built-in email program on your iPhone. When it asks what size pictures to send, select medium size. Open your newly received email and save all of the pics to photos.

Now use the newly saved pictures to post on Vintage Motoring.

There are other ways that are better, but since I take all my pictures on my iPhone, this is the easiest way for me. If you don’t have an iPhone, but have an iPad you can substitute the iPad.

I didn't read through your instructions well enough the first time.
Now I'll do it again later today.
Thanks very much.
