Old Parts catalogs, etc.

Cleaning out my basement playroom, I came across the following vintage catalogs & manuals that I've had from back in the day that I will send to anyone requesting them for the best offer for the lot plus the postage: Columbia Motor Corp. catalog no. 6;SU Carburettor Illustrated List of Service Parts;VDO Instrument catalog;Lucas Master price list;Glenn's Mercedes Benz Repair and Tune-Up Guide(hard cover);German car parts catalog(VW,Borgward, Mercedes, BMW, etc.);Robert Bosch catalog;MGA Service Parts List (with illustrations of all parts!);British Motor Corp. suggested price list(hard cover); Beck Distributing Corp. 1958 British Car Parts catalog, and 1970 Champion Spark Plug Recommendation Chart. Will not sell separately. If you're interested, please PM me and make offer. Thanks.

Apparently no one is interested in this collection. It's a shame to throw this stuff out but before I do, does anyone want any one or two of these items? I'll send them out for just the postage.

You might want to post this in the Classifieds. Might get more eyes on it that way.

I have saved all of mine since 1973. Takes a whole bookcase. Always afraid to get rid of them because the #s can be crossed for parts. Everybody looks on the internet, but you cannot always find without a base #.

Same here, Larry. Shelves full of manuals, parts books specific to many marques. The 'net is useful but not always the easiest way to get to the bottom of an issue finding bits or repair procedures. :thumbsup:

I would be interested in the Glenn's Mercedes and 1958 British Car Parts books if still available

Here are a couple of pictures.

That Glenn's M-B manual is a goldmine. I found a lot of tips and adjustments for my 190b in there that weren't in the factory workshop manual.

Since JP was first to answer, I'll send the Glenn book to him and the 1958 parts catalog plus a bonus or two to Glemon. Please PM or email me with your mailing addresses. Thanks. Anyone want the MGA illustrated parts catalog? Speak up.
