The major Oil companies, Castrol, Shell, BP as well as Ferodo often used small booklets to "trumpet" their achievements for the previous year.
I want to share some of the Castrol ones with you.

















Called "Castrol Achievements". I'm unsure when they started or ceased printing them, but I have copies from 1931 to 1967 as well as two commemorative editions... 1988-1949 and "The First 50 Years"...
I've not got them all, but come close to it....
Interesting stuff....
Availability...?
I'm involved with book auctions, on a postal basis and haven't seen copies for come years. I don't actively chase them on Ebay, so it is difficult to comment, including prices.
"Keep a weather eye out" as they say....
Illustrated are covers from 1931,1933 and 1934 copies.
The front-i-piece from the 1933 booklet, two illustration from 1938, the Scottish Six Days Trial and George Eyston after a successful world speed record attempt.
A page from the 1899-1949 and 1955 booklets, and a view of the 1967 and the two special period booklets.
Of course the contents only illustrate those successful riders, drivers, pilots etc who used Castrol products.... if you were contracted to another oil company as for example Stanley Woods ( Mobiloil) then you don't feature......
