Title: Memorabilia - What to do with it?
Post by: Kev_mk3 on April 18, 2016, 12:57:26 pm
Going through dads things still (he had alot!) bit by bit when I go around to the house and I am finding so many things and most in near mint condition.
He worked for a company that sponsored Jordan F1 and the XJR Jags back in the early 90's so I have alot of things any ideas where is best to see if anyone wants any of it?
Some I am keeping as its sentimental but the rest is open to go. Examples below of what I am finding.

It's always hard going through someone elses stuff, I'm sorry you find yourself doing this.
I would definitely suggest a 3 pile system. I Will keep, I might keep (then be ruthless with a 2nd look) and I'm not keeping.
Have you spoken with your family, see if anyone wants any of it?
Perhaps list them here and have a PM auction to raise some money for the CA charities?

My mum put it in a pile to see if I want it & my brother doesnt (he lives in Oz but I still ask) I generally keep what I want but the rest I put in a pile to sell / give away. I have sold somethings and put the money into a account till we decide as a family what we are doing with the funds as in to take a trip to scatter his ashes and some to charity etc.
I will have a look to see what can go into the CA Raffle as some isnt worth it IMO

Wow, that brings back memories, I originally picked up a few of the 'gift' products from our local Jag dealer who used to also lend me a large flag for when I was there.
Those were the days...

Agreed, those do bring back memories. I remember subscribing to XJR magazine, and had a complete collection. We have a friend, a younger guy who's spent time working in Indycar, and IMSA, who's a huge fan of the Group C, and IMSA Camel GT era. I've passed on a lot of my memorabilia from that era to him, programs, tickets, magazines (XJR, GPI, Autosport), books, etc, in exchange for credentials to races. He's a big fan of the Sauber Mercs, and I collected a bunch of their stuff back in the day. When I hand over a box of that stuff over to him he's like a little kid at Christmas, makes me feel good to pass on the love of the history of the sport to a newer generation of fans.
