Does anyone collect old Skoda ephemera or automobilia I wonder?

I've been collecting various makes brochures and stuff for years, but these have always been British makes. I've got a very few foreign ones, and am interested in getting more old Skoda ones. Ebay is an obvious place but the prices seem to vary wildly. Did Skoda produce english language brochures for their older rear wheel drive models? I've seen a couple in Dutch.

I also have bought some old lapel badges. They seem to be a lot more common for foreign makes than English ones. Perhaps our home market was too staid for such things, or I haven't seen them, apart from things like the BMC drivers club, or the petrol firm advertising pins. There seems to be a big variety of eastern bloc firms who gave them to owners or sold by dealers etc. My favourites seem to be the ones that factories gave to long serving staff for say, 20 or 25 years working there.

Anyone else got anything like this? I guess I need to find a forum with more Czech membership for interest in the foreign ones. Did they give them out in the UK ?

I have stacks of old Skoda brochures and leaflets...I'll happily give you any that I have more than one of.

I would be interested too Dave. Obviously of anything of duplicate copy only. I had one when I was very small (4 / 5 years old, and I spoilt it a bit with a felt tip pen!) I have still got it, but it is missing pages and looks a mess! :wonder:

I am happy to give you something for them, and to cover postage.

Hi Dave;
