vulgalour Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Maybe this will kick off a thread, maybe not. Here's some scans of some 1980s ephemera I recently acquired for the Princess. I love this stuff because I'm a sad twat.
Alexg Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 That's great. I have a fair collection of BL/AR/MGROVER brochures and press cuttings etc that I like to get out from time to time. Is this stuff to have in the car?
Conrad D. Conelrad Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 These are great! I particularly love the "read carefully now" Supercover illustration, it's amazing.
richardthestag Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 top stuff but who stole the front end off the Rover?
vulgalour Posted January 25, 2013 Author Posted January 25, 2013 @Alexg: It's mostly for my own amusement, though having user manuals is a useful addition to the history file I keep for the car. Just a shame I don't really have any history for her before '97, no records have been kept by previous owners.
fordperv Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 great stuff, the service advisor looks as if he wants too service more than the ladys car
shedvan Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 top stuff but who stole the front end off the Rover? Isn't that a picture of someone throwing an SD1 dashboard out the back of a speeding* Sherpa van?
richardthestag Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Those chaps from the aa look like a shite village people tribute act
trigger Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I don't know, if you thought the AA looked a bit camp, you should have seen the RAC.
Captain Slow Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 You REALLY don't wanna get me in on this thread...
dollywobbler Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I HATE reading instructions for anything, but LOVE reading handbooks. I've never had a BX handbook. It's about time I did something about that...
michael t Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I love this stuff because I'm a sad twat. haha dont worry your not the only one, I love this kind of stuff meself
vulgalour Posted January 25, 2013 Author Posted January 25, 2013 @trigger: might, wouldn't, wouldn't, deffo would, would. ATCNBE.
eddyramrod Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 That was a tidy little haul of paperwork there, well done. I fail to understand how all this kit gets split away from the car it represents, before the likes of us take them in. OK, you might keep an odd thing as a souvenir of a car you particularly loved when it was new, but letting it go without the handbook, or the service history? Makes no sense to me. And in what other car will you be using your BL standard-fit 1979 radio-cassette? Of course you leave that book with the car! The human being.... it's a whole different species. I'll never get it.
