What's collectable and what's not...

Members of the ACCA (Automobilia Collectors Club of Australia) collect almost any automobile-related items: advertising signs, literature, radiator badges, body badges, identification plates, motoring club badges, mascots, motor meters, hub caps, spark plugs, number plates, manuals, tyre company memorabilia, garage tools and equipment, motoring accessories, pedal cars etc. In addition, most of our members collect the vast range of oil industry-related items such as: petrol pumps, oil bottles tops and racks, oil and grease tins, signs, road maps, ephemera, advertising and associated pieces. This page will serve as a brief guide to some of the things that are collected and featured in the quarterly magazine as well as identifying some things for which we know of fewer collectors.
