The story is......

 

My missus lost her uncle (Simon) recently, he was very nice chap and spent most of his life working for large agricultural firms, teaching and car sales.

 

I believe Simon's father worked in car sales and started a collection of sales brochures which Simon inherited and continued to develop. 

 

My brother in-law has been helping clear the estate and came across this collection which contains hundreds of pristine brochures and sales mags from as far back as the 50's, from truck's, tractor's and cars......

 

....Good job my bro in-law is a car buff else these would have gone in the skip.

 

The hoard is huge, here is a tiny snippet.

 

Nothing is for sale, so please don't ask.

Sorry for your loss.

That is a bit wow. Plenty of nostalgic reading there. I bet your missus was thrilled when you said you wanted to keep the boxes full of old car mags!

I know you said there's non for sale, so please can you scan and upload every page? It'll only take a min.... lol
