This must be some of the best 90 seconds of tv advertising ever. It’s when the Harriers appear at the end... wow!

Came here to post that^^^

Earth shattering when launched..

An utter tour de force. (and I'm not even British)

My all-time favourite, Rover Fastback ad. Was never totally sure whether it was supposed to be slightly comedic or they were completely serious:

And the Pirelli ad featuring the Countach and Nessun Dorma:

Amazing how brands changing their approach depending on the target country

Typical UK Rover advert from the mid-late 90s, lots of middle class suburban cheer and general beigeness

Now for the Japanese approach, I think they were going for Rover the Killer/Impaler

All of the Cadbury’s Oral sex Flake adverts.

Peak Audi, when they were actually interesting cars, with great marketing. And the late, great, Geoffrey Palmer, with a great line in sarcasm:

I find it worrying that I can remember the characters in the "drama" were called Hans and Helga, yet can't remember half my teachers' names from the same time.

Also, Ford Escort RS Cosworth, with Brian May "Everything we/I do is driven by you" (also used in other Ford promos of the time):

With the world's cheesiest thumbs-up.

Scotland's "Drive like your Granny's in the car" campaign ads.

My favourites;

2. Respect other road users)
(..and he's a very generous lover...)

3. Drugs

I liked the Red Rock Cider ads, back when they were on. I don't remember them all being as long as this one, though.

And back in the day, I always looked forward to seeing the new Hornby ad in the run-up to Christmas.
