Does anyone collect these? I have been curious about them for quite a while, so I decided to pull the trigger and get one. Wow...they are gorgeous! If anyone is unfamiliar with them, each year they publish a hardcover book with all of the models they produced that year, along with history and photos of the 1:1 inspiration.

I don't have those but they look really interesting ! It us a great way for them (and a collector) to document and keep track of an AutoCult replica automobile collection. They seem very well done.

It remembers me of Automobile Quarterly whose publication came 4 times a year. They were hard bond and embossed cover books covering classic cars and a subscription was very expensive. I still have some of them.

AutoCult also sells a "Set of the Year" which combines the book with the "Model of the Year".

I am not familiar with AutoCult other than what I read here but if they have the financial means to print a hard cover book every year, they have definitely big money behind them. What is the Publishing House and ISBN?

They appear to be self-published; the publisher is listed as Thomas Roschmann, who is the managing director of AutoCult. There are no ISBN numbers on any of the books.

@daveg I've been curious about their books because they also come with a unique model. How interesting that they 2017 issue had this Auto Union, because that car was actually built and shown at Goodwood this year.

@nickies I have a complete set of AQs if anyone wants to buy them. Pick-up only, as I think shipping would be cost-prohibitive.

I have all books, most of them with the model that came with them.

They are great, which really says it all for Autocult....

 

For me, Autocult/ Avenue 43 is still number one, followed by Matrix.

@joop Me, too. One of them even has a featurette about my camper collection in the museum and highlights the Autocult models included. I like that the newest set also includes an option for a flash drive instead of the hardback print edition.

AutoCult is really a class act! No only are their models superb, but their packaging is outstanding, and their customer service cannot be beat. Their high quality books just underscore their commitment to doing anything necessary to faithfully reproduce their 1:1 subjects!
