Not sure this is the right section but seems to be for all general posts...
After a bit of interest in 300 Accessories I scanned in the catalogue I picked up last year.
Not the best quality and there were fold out pages which meant scanning pages twice...
Uploaded it to my Flickr account....

Love the 'caravan scoop' spoiler.....and does anyone have a load levelling system fitted to their car ?
Hopefully be of interest....?

Thanks for scanning and sharing, these are superb
I believe the load levelling suspension was made by Monroe - the gauge you see in the car is shared with some of the bigger Volvo's too.

Beat this for an accessory:
Probably from the winter of 78/79 when we had 6 weeks of snow and ice over Christmas. That was hard for southerners (taking mock O-levels) ;-0

Well not really an accessory, but clearing out the garage revealed a find from 2001...
I evidently got a new heater thermal-cutout from a main-dealer in 2001 and, thankfully, thought it worth keeping the old one. We now have the technology to repair the c/o Mac.

Great catalogue! Odd the catalogue photo for bodykit (photo 22, near the beginning) doesn't look like it has a bodykit!

Very welcome, some interesting items in the catalogue...very 80s!
Hadn't spotted that about the bodykit but yes, that seems a missed opportunity....maybe there was a separate bodykit leaflet available at the time....can't have sold that many I expect.
