Accessories brochure

nathan · 22nd November 2015, 08:47

Ok so I've just won an auction for the accessories brochure and price list brochure, but there is also an earlier brochure which covers 2001. What items are not listed in the 2002 one that I have that are listed in the 2001 brochure? Are there quite a few items missing? Or none?
Thanks in advance!

These are the brochures I'm talking about, the blue brochures are the ones I have won on eBay.

OK there were a total of 5 brochures - I don't have the nos to hand but here is a rough guide:

March 1999, 75 only, A5 portrait, matches cover of the 1999 sales brochures

Jan 2000, landscape, 25, 45 & 75, white

May 2000, landscape, 25, 45, &75, white

December 2001, landscape, 25, 45 & 75, blue, comes with smaller size separate price list

December 2003, landscape, 75 facelift only, white, far fewer pages, doesn't have pictures of all items.

There is also a price and application Xpart accessories guide on the internet somewhere from May 2005.

Not everything was listed at first - tow rope wasn't in the first one (but already existed for other Rovers), walnut handbrake, seat back stowage and map pockets were all added in later brochures, some things were deleted from the facelift brochure but they added a DVD player, speed camera detector and a couple of other bits. Some things changed like bulb kit and first aid kit.

I don't think anything was deleted from the 2001 brochure that was in earlier ones, but I''d have to check. Certainly things were missing from the facelift one.

I have the 1999 A5 accessories brochure, and it was pretty comprehensive.
