I've been watching old car adverts on youtube and somehow they just seem better than what we have today confused. Anyway here are a couple good ones, feel free to post your own biggrin

Vauxhall Nova

That ad almost makes the Nova look good, although the woman in the green suit and Deirdre Barlow glasses does nothing for me.

Been doing this too recently.

One I've been looking for without success is where a guy turned up to some stock car racing and his race car wouldn't start, so instead he jumps in his Montego tow car and wipes the floor with the competition. My Dad was a Montego man back in the day so I thought that ad was great, would love to see it again.

I agree, they were so much better.

I've always loved this Metro ad

As if I'd ever consider buying a car built by some lazy thieving foreigner

Love the Sierra one -

At 20 secs: "it's a diesel" the clip shows it sitting in L2, crawling past a truck and getting overtaken by a coach hehe

I always liked the Izusu Gemini car ads involving classic car stunts by Remy Jullienne.
