One of the companies Daewoo acquired during its late '90s spending spree in Eastern Europe was AvtoZAZ in Ukraine. This bilingual brochure comes from. Shown are the locally-built 5-door Slavuta as well as the 3-door Tavria, a design introduced in the last years of the Soviet Union. #carbluesky

The '80s was the decade Renault hoped to achieve its long-cherished American Dream, and the humble 9 was key to the masterplan of becoming a major player across the Atlantic. Europeans were reminded of this by US-themed special editions like the 9 Louisiane shown in this Dutch brochure. #carbluesky

BMC's traditional penchant for badge-engineering meant the ultra-compact Mini soon got curious chrome-grilled Wolseley and Riley saloon variants. This brochure features the final 998cc Wolseley Hornet mkIII, which introduced concealed door hinges and wind-down windows. #carbluesky

Volvo celebrated 50 years of car manufacture in 1977, and the UK importer celebrated with this rather flimsy brochure on a special edition 244. It had silver paintwork, plus what was described as 'the ultimate endorsement', a solid silver dashboard plaque with the President of Volvo's signature.

I was so worried about negativity that might emerge regarding us supporting an LGBTQ+ homeless charity again. I needn't have worried. Yes, a few neggy comments but overwhelming love and support in the comments. The HubNut community is a beautiful thing.

An early move in SEAT's battle to survive after being forced to split from Fiat was to restyle the latter's Ritmo to create the Ronda in 1982. Initlially it used Spanish-built Fiat engines, with the range topped by this sporting version, the Ronda Crono 100, with a 1592cc 95bhp engine. #carbluesky

Franeker, 27 augustus 1828. Eise Eisinga bouwer van het inmiddels wereldberoemde Planetarium, overleed. Lange tijd werd gedacht dat hij het bouwde vanwege de onrust in 1774, toen dominee Alta voorspelde dat de aarde in de zon zou worden geslingerd. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat die onrust wel meeviel 1/4

'Quite an Eyeful!' was the slogan used in this New Zealand brochure on the locally-assembled Morris Marina MkII. While Leyland Australia-sourced Marina kits were initially put together in NZ, MkII Marinas used British kits, with trim differences due to maximising local content. #carbluesky

Arguably the best out of four generations of SEAT's Toledo was this second iteration, which made its debut in 1998. Now a three-box saloon with a smooth aerodynamic style and high-quality interior (using the Audi A3 dashboard), it was a big advance over its predecessor. #carbluesky

Our recent Ford Escort raffle supported the charity AKT. It's an LGBTQ homeless charity - a valuable and important cause. During our livestream, where we discussed the charity, we started getting chat comments that were frankly bordering on hate speech from a few very vocal people. It was upsetting.

Despite the upbeat tone of this brochure on the Nash Ambassador, 'the world's finest travel car', 1957 turned out to be the last hurrah of the Nash marque. Nash and Hudson had merged to form AMC in 1954, and the next generation model would be the 'Ambassador by Rambler'. #carbluesky

A perennial favourite in the UK market, the Ford Transit range features in its mk2 form (really a much-improved mk1) in this detailed brochure from 1982, which noted that over half of Transits built to date had come from the British factory at Southampton, most of them being van models. #carbluesky

There's an unwritten rule that limited edition cars called 'Style' often struggle to live up to their name. Peugeot waxed lyrical about its 1987 309 Style, with the UK brochure dubbing it 'cool and elegant, a car to command attention and call for murmurs of admiration'. #carbluesky

The four-seater CLK cabriolet was well-placed to meet a boom in this type of bodystyle globally. Engine choices featured were the supercharged 230K or the 6-cylinder 320. The car's electric folding soft-top promised to be 'as snug and watertight as a conventional saloon'.

The CLK opened up a new market sector for Mercedes-Benz in the late '90s. Derived from the C-class, although with a nose more like the bigger E-class, the cabriolet version is shown in Sport trim in this 1998 UK brochure. #carbluesky

Peugeot's 504 had proved a modest success in the US, and the company aimed to target small car buyers with the front-wheel-drive 304. The brochure claimed the 1288cc model 'handles like a sports car, yet has everything you'd expect in a luxury sedan'. #weirdcarbs

The mid-'70s fuel crisis led BMW to rethink its attitude to diesel cars, and in 1983 its first diesel engine was ready, with an emphasis on performance. Launched at the 1983 Frankfurt Show, the 524td, seen in this Spanish brochure, was briefly the fastest diesel saloon in the world. #weirdcarbs
