Prompted by the latest ad for O2:
Pretty sure that's a V10-series Camry?
Any others you've seen?

Doesn't the current 118 118 advert have a Mk3 Capri in it?

Totally OT, but I love Sean Bean's voice. Was going to include a Game of Thrones reference, but not sure this is the place.
Forgotten how much I liked that Levis advert too.

Not an advert but the main character in BBC 3's "Dirk Gently" uses an Austin Princess.

Just spotted an advert for Dulux paint where they redecorate the room yellow. The bloke sleeping in the room wakes up, sees the yellow and leaves his elderly parents' house in...
A Brown Mk 1 Astra!
The one that always irked/interested me was the Post Office advert where a random street-parked car loses a door - the car appears to be a South African or Spanish Austin ADO 16 variation, so either an Austin Apache or an Authi.
Such an odd car to appear in a British advert.

Think the Levis Twisted MK1 Triumph and the new O2 Nissan 300C were as well. Something to do with lighting IIRC |

Something to do with lighting IIRC Yeah it's this big light they have up in the sky there that we don't always have here  There was a Halifax advert filmed there as well; it's basically because there are bits that look like a British city but sunny. |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

It began as soon as kids from the 70's & 80's started infesting the creative offices of the advertising houses.
No doubt there is a fair smattering of pistonheads from their youth in the industry but for the majority it's following fashion. Fashion comes from the street which in turn makes us lot a bunch of trendsetters.
Anyone up for shooting me down on my belief that the W123 is the most featured of any retros in ads over the past 5+ years? That goes for at home in the UK and over here in Oz.
...don't ask me which ads, I just see the motors and smile!
