Anyone got any fave (or indeed remember any) ads that went with what are now our Retro Cars?
I remember that the new Capri 2.8i "went like lightning" craaash, flaaash ooeeer
the previous owner of my red ZS (a little old lady) bought it entirely due to seeing an ad with it slaloming down a mountain racing a skier!- penti arikala at the wheel I believe).

The launch of the Metro - 'A British Car to Beat the World' was memorable, as they all lined up on the cliffs of Dover  |

Slightly bad taste but:
"Dave's a rapist. Before he had the performance edge given to him by our new Dolomite Sprint his victims sometimes escaped...not good for Dave. Now, thanks to our ground-breaking 16 valve technology he'll have her chained up in his cellar in no time"
"Dolomite: Don't get nicked"

He's thinking
"Noone's gonna fancy me in a Dolomite!

Have a look around here, work avoidance at its best. www.tv-ark.org.uk/The Leyland advert is great, esp. the Dolomite. And the Cavalier advert makes me laugh everytime. |

How's this one... "The grown-up's answer to Scaletrix"(!)  Or this...  Can you see a theme emerging?  |
