    Beyond the documentation that came with the Dino (Owners Guide, Spare Parts Catalog, etc), which I realize varied somewhat year to year or model (ie, Euro vs USA), what other Dino brochures are out there and are they considered collectible (ie, likely to increase in value)?

    Occasionally I will see one or another on eBay for hundreds of $$$'s and wondered if they would be a good long-term investment, whether they are unloaded by themselves or add value to a Dino when sold.

    Pick up a copy of Michel Sauze's book, it is a good guide to what has been officially published in Ferraridom. Of course, there is alot that is not official (e.g. dealer published brochures) and there is some variation in brochures. For example, a french or italian only version of a brochure may be quite rare but tricky to figure that out.
    I see these as an investment in the sense they are as much a part of my car as the toolkit and the fobs but that's probably just me.
    As with everything, it's only worth what people are prepared to pay. The fact there are dealers for this stuff is a sign.

    I scan eBay for the documents that would match my car, and so be of interest to future buyers, but I hold no illusion they will 'add value" to any future sale.

    That said there is a finite supply, so I don't know that you will 'always be able ' to source such things.

    The brochures/documents definitely have value to Dino guys and could compliment a car. I would buy for you and what you like and not fo rthe next guy down the road.

    The rare stuff doesn't surface often and often goes to collectors. The guy most likely to by a Dino won't put value on these things.....at least when he is buying.......
