Does anybody know if FROST still produce a paper catalogue?
I havent had much joy on the website and they havent got back to me yet.
I'm one of the few people left who still enjoys flicking through a paper catalogue. Most of the time I find something I don't 'need' but will be used once I have it. I know there is a pdf downloadable catalogue but its not the same

Timeline - 1988, Mike Wood took a stand at Classic Car Show at the NEC Birmingham. Lots of enthusiasm was generated and slowly this developed into a Mail Order business.
- 1989, Mike Wood took stands at 26 shows including the huge auto jumble at Beaulieu and the first full-time employee was engaged.
- 1999, The Frost Team had a website and had now grown to employ 7 full-time employees mailing out 50,000 full colour 62 page catalogues.
- 2000, The first shopping cart was made and Frost became a “multichannel seller” with both online and offline stores.
- 2007, Customers could create their own online account to search and save their favourite products. Technical articles and instruction videos were also added to the website for the better online shopping experience.
- 2009, The catalogue grows to 100 pages and contains over 1200 items, which Frost mails out four times a year to its 100,000 mail list.
- 2010, eBay shop launched followed by an Amazon store in 2011.
- 2016, Business moves to its new location and releases new catalogue with 116 pages produced offering over 10,000 lines.
- 2017, Frost opens shop in Glazebury, Warrington which stocks all lines.

I’ve only ever seen the paper copies bundled with Practical Classic magazine every so often.
[edit]Now I think about it, I haven't brought PC for about five years now, so ignore what I said! Doesn't time fly!

Email and ask. I'm betting they have them but only give them out if you ask. You will. Not reach many new customers handing out thousands of catalogues with car mags as most peolle have heard of them.

If it can be fixed with a hammer, then it must be an electrical fault
