The Combi Coupé made its debut in 1974 and was initially only a three-door, although a five-door would come later. Saab's brochures spent a lot of time on spelling out the comfort and safety of the company's products, which tended to be more expensive than many competitors.

Saab made a big deal of its new Combi Coupé version of the 99, calling it the only car in the world to justify such a name. It added it 'avoided the cumbersome van-like appearance which many people find unattractive' - perhaps a dig at the rival Volvo 245. #carbrochure #Saab

The fifth-generation Nissan Laurel was the last to be sold in Europe, and marked the swansong of attempts to sell a traditional, formally-styled Japanese big saloon. This 1986 UK brochure features a single 2.4SGL model, described as 'the epitome of elegance'. #carbrochure #Nissan

Ahead of Daewoo's British launch in 1995, this brochure introduced 'the biggest car company you've never heard of', bigging up the firm - mentioning microwave ovens and its VCR plant in Northern Ireland - and previewing the Nexia and Espero models. #carbrochure #Daewoo

Citroën's 2CV was marketed in many ways in France over the years. By 1984 its volume-selling days were long over and the car was an increasingly niche product inspiring 'love always' among its devotees, hence the light-hearted presentation of this brochure. #carbrochure #Citroen

Continuing GM Canada's long tradition of Pontiac-badged small cars, the Wave was another name for the model originally launched as the Daewoo Kalos/Aveo. This 2007 brochure urges buyers to 'Ignite the Feeling', with a new sedan model joining the hatch. #carbrochure #Pontiac

Saab had an interesting approach to its US brochures, showing its cars negotiating unusually challenging conditions, and peppering the text with references to the cars' superiority over their rivals. This 1985 edition was the first year of the 16V Turbo unit. #carbrochure #Saab

The most ambitious model sold by Tata during its relatively brief time on the British market, the seven-seater Safari was pitched as a good value family vehicle with off-road capabilities. UK sales soon dried up but the design lived on in India until 2019. #carbrochure #Tata

The Citroën C35 light commercial range gets an attractive cartoon treatment in this 1981 French brochure. The C35 was a joint van project with Fiat (which called its version the 242), and pre-dated the takeover of Citroën by Peugeot. #carbrochure #Citroen

After a four-year gap the BMW M5 returned in 1999 for its third (E39) generation, and the first with a V8, a 400bhp 5.0-litre unit. The big brochure for its reintroduction was all about the M5 being a discreet and tasteful high performance car inside and out. #carbrochure #BMW
