Archive

Welcome to the Emil Frey Classics archive

Our archive contains the stocks of the Emil Frey Group. Among other things, you will find sales documents. Business files, car cards of the vehicles sold and technical literature. Many of these documents are available in digital form.

On the other hand, you will find the entire archive of Automobil Revue. It contains extensive dossiers of all car brands, which have been largely digitised up to the year 1995. You will also find newspaper articles and files on wide-ranging topics such as transport policy and tourism.

If you would like to view specific archive files on site or order high-resolution digital copies, please contact us by e-mail or telephone. Our archive is open to the public during the opening hours of the Classic Centre Switzerland.

We charge a fee of CHF 25.– for the use of the archive on site. The administration fee for high-resolution digital copies and for reproduction orders depends on the quantity ordered.

An archive package for your classic car

Would you like to find out more about your classic car? Do you need help with importing or presenting a classic car for inspection? Would you like to replace a lost exhaust document or an illegible chassis badge? Our archive harbours a wealth of treasures on paper. Tell us the make and model of your classic car and we will put together a customised package. Depending on the model, this consists of:

– Sales brochure with price list
– Press releases and photos from the period
– Technical data sheets
– Matching company brochures
– test reports

For imported vehicles from the Emil-Frey Group, we offer a representative certificate, a Swiss birth certificate so to speak. Give us a call or write to us. We have archive material on (almost) all makes and will be happy to put together a non-binding offer for you.
