Hi Mark, I used to own one of those "catalogues", but sold it probably about eighteen months ago. If I remember correctly, I got about $100.00 for it. It is an absolute jewel of an item, very intricate with a pull-out drawer type of folder showing paint colours and trim materials. It is a real collectors treasure. Regards Styria

Wow $286 (plus postage) & 14 bids!! Did any of us become the lucky new owner?

That is an extraordinary price. Mind you, when you consider that a 6.9 Owners Manual requires $100.00 buckeroos, that catalogue is definitely cheap in comparison. That brings me to another subject - "In Aller Welt" - that excellent Mercedes publication that started in the mid fifties. I have those going back to 1958 (about the 20th edition), and you'd have to wonder what sort of money those early magazines are likely to fetch ? Also, "Thoroughbred and Classic Cars" - the magazine that started back in October 1973. I have those magazines for the first ten years. Again, they should be worth money. Any opinions ? Regards Styria
