    FS: Another factory sales brochure for 1973 911

    Guys,
    Here's another brochure I found in my file.
    This one is much larger and has around 26 pages with lots of nice full page color pictures. I wish I could say that it is in perfect condition, but it's not. Unfortunately there is some water damage on the cover and on the first 3-4 pages. It is not noticeable at all on the color pictures, only the black and white pages with print (refer to the pictures below). The brochure has no deep folds, or creases, just some mild rippling from being left in moisture(or having something spilled on it?). On a scale of 1-10 I would rate thecondition to be a 7-8. The pictures themselves are beautiful with no discoloration or water marking (probably because all of the pages are plastic laminated). I used a damp cloth with mild soapy water to wipe each page down, and they cleaned up nicely. However, the pages which show discoloration (see front cover) did not clean up very wery well.
    Maybe there is something else that could be used to clean them up better. I just don't want to take any chances and end up doing more damage.
    In order to get rid of the rippling, I currently have the booklet laid out flat with a few large heavy books laying over it. I am hoping that after a few days of this most of the rippling will be gone.
    So I am guessing that this sales brochure is much rarer than the 2 page brochure I just sold - based upon the fact that the cost of printing this many full page color pic's would have been prohibitively expensive for the factory (we are talking about 20 full page color pictures in lamination. Anyone know what it's worth? I am thinking of asking $100? Any listed on EBay currently? Make me an offer.
    By the way, these are only a handful of the many pictures on the booklet, many of which are two page fold outs and very beautiful pic's of various 73 911 models in the countryside and various other locations. It's pure porno for early 911 guys

    Gruen,
    this catalogue is the "prestige" called 1973 one.
    Goes around $100 but can go up if in perfect condition.
    (Some pics are reused from the 1970 "a Love story" catalogue and note the 71/72 stick lever boot.
    Porsche did not update all interior pictures every year, some are photo-retouched)

    .... correct about the using older pictures. Amazingly, if you take a closer look at the Viper green car (it may not show up on the scans, but it's clear on the actual brochure), the chrome surrounds on the lens lights have been DRAWN on in black to 'become' a later car !!!
