A "moment" that all this stuff becomes more valuable happens sooner than most realize. Opps, it's already passed!

The launch materials will become more sought after. Also, the brochures, sales materials, and "stuff" from this first generation of the New MINI will be a big deal when people start buying more used [2nd and 3rd owner] cars, and then even more so after the face lift in 2006. Time tends to trash all these materials.

Yes, I saw a current UK accessory brochure on there the other day described as 'rare'. The idiots that get taken in by this kind of crap, when they can walk into a dealership and pick one up for free!

Like Minty said, this could make him and I rich!

Actually, these printed items are called "Ephemera" and are quite collectible, not just auto folk, but the rare book aficionado as well. Keep them for awhile. Don't fold them, keep the corners neat and store them in zip bags.
Too cool ¿que no?
