I know a guy in the uk who has/does make a good living out of buying/selling and trading them. Who'd of thunk it!

There is a good living to be made -know 2 guys in CHCH whom have been doing it for years. One of these is regularly at many of the CHCH Car club days
I Was lucky to get quite a few from 1997 Earls Motor Show - My Sister worked as a demonstrator at that show; some of the brochures include Lamborghini Diabo and 1 or 2 prototype makers that never really got off the ground .probably very rare now.

I remember the "Suddenly Sigma" TV ad that Mitsubishi made for that model, I wonder if a copy of it still exists somewhere!It would complement that collection nicely.

Is that the TV Advert with new Sigma Front wheel drive been driven surrounded by Grey coloured Hillman Hunters!

No it was definitely for the RWD model of about 1981-82, not the "grey grey world" ad of the FWD model, it was various shots of the Sigma from all different angles being driven on the road in a fairly wide open space (Desert Rd perhaps!) it was that kind of setting.The theme song from what I remember was "Suddenly Sigma, Mitsubishi Sigma, big and bold and beautiful, Suddenly Sigma".I don't think the flagship SE model with the digital dash and alloy wheels etc had been launched at that stage, it was either a GLX or Super Saloon that was used or could have even been both, thinking back 30 years here!

Hey rotormotor, what is the book/mook under the RX2 road test in the first picture! The one with the RX3 coupe on the cover. My collection tends towards rotary books.
