Recently came across this-
There are 12 pages of material, including catalogues and past issues of MICA magazines, that one can flip through.
The link will take you to the catalogue section page 12. More catalogues can be found on page 11 (If one scrolls down to, the lower right corner of the page, the number links for the other pages are there)

Wow! I like that, how you can flick through the catalogue as if you have it in your hand. Very cool.
I used to contribute bits to that magazine and after it changed hands kept sending bits in for a while but never got any replies or soar anything published so gave it away.
I don't even know if the club is going any more as I know myself and other members here had a hard time getting any communication out of them.

Thanks for showing these pages.
Cheers Steve

Very nice. I like the page animation and you can zoom in and go full screen to make reading easy. Thanks for the link zB

It is the work of 'Matchbox Club' (formerly MICA), which if registered with them gives you access to this as it runs more or less the same way on their site. Not sure why it is now available to everyone outside the club and wonder if club officers are aware of it!

Thanks for the post & link - it was a neat way of looking at the catalogues.
Saw one of my big wish list items in the the 1958 catalogue - the grey tyre/wheel M5 combine (as close as I'll get to the real thing).

Some really good stuff and great link to view catalogs and other outstanding reference material/history!
Looking through the pocket catalogs from the 1960's brought back some great memories of spending hours looking at the pages back in the day and trying to figure out which model(s) to save off for next -- what fun times! My youth catalogs still have the "check-marks" in them as my collection slowly grew......................
Thanks for sharing,
Bill
