Default Best CMS for collector's site?

Hi,

I have a friend who's looking to create a website to show off his model car collection (he's got a few thousand of them).

Are there any content management systems that would be suitable for this?
Ideally would want something that would allow multiple categorisations, like;
- List by scale
- List by manufacturer
possibly by other details too...

I've got a little bit of experience with the likes of Joomla, Mambo and Wordpress, but there might be a bit more work than I'd be up for in tailoring them to suit my friend's needs..

thanks,
Andrew

If you are happy with Joomla or mambo, you could install virtumart, it a shop, but you can set it to run in catalog mode (without the shop functions)

You could then display the collection in a number of ways.

Thumbs up

Damien,

Thanks for that - at first glance it looks like it'll do exactly what I want.
Will check it out properly at lunchtime
