Automobilia is a portmanteau of the words automobile and memorabilia.

It is term which can be used to describe any historical artifact or collectible linked with motor cars and related areas, such as motor racing and motorsport personalities.

In common usage the term is taken to specifically exclude fully or partially complete vehicles, although componentry may be termed automobilia if its ownership is primarily for memento value rather than for practical use.

Artifacts included within automobilia may be highly varied in nature, ranging from those linked with motoring in a general sense (e.g. an in-car tool kit) to those intrinsically linked with a specific vehicle or event (e.g. the steering wheel from a particular Formula One car, used during a notable Grand Prix race).

Many people around the world are collectors of automobilia, and most autojumble sale events have a sizeable number of automobilia traders.

In addition, at the upper end of the market, major auction houses such as Bonhams regularly hold specialist automobilia sales.

Most collectors limit themselves to an isolated area of automobilia, commonly linked by a unifying theme.

Examples of popular automobilia collection themes could include items connected to an individual, such as a motor racing driver, or objects of a specific type, such as radiator mascots.

A car is a wheeled, self-powered motor vehicle used for transportation and a product of the automotive industry.

The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the modern car.

In that year, German inventor Karl Benz built the Benz Patent-Motorwagen.

Cars did not become widely available until the early 20th century.

One of the first cars that was accessible to the masses was the 1908 Model T, an American car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company.

Cars were rapidly adopted in the United States of America, where they replaced animal-drawn carriages and carts, but took much longer to be accepted in Western Europe and other parts of the world.

Clothing (also called clothes and attire) is fiber and textile material worn on the body.
