For your Christmas viewing pleasure. Andrew Elphick’s been busy with his scanner to bring you some quirky advertising taken from car magazines over the years.

How times have changed, eh?
Here’s the first gallery – stay tuned for more…

Excellent-thanks very much for sharing.
I want the Tyrrell jacket. I wonder if any survive?
I had a Amstrad CB!
Wicked old adverts… The Vintage Ripspeed items would probably still sell now….. If like me you have an old chariot ! That Pheonix advert for the Mini Clubedface Estate looks err odd.
i want the Tyrell jacket too
Must check with my grandad and his jazzmags for these adverts,when we exhume him!
I wonder what ever happened to the Avon Safety Wheel? I’ve seen serious off-roaders with bead locks on the wheels, but never on a car.
Ripspeed!

That was his Mini barrel rolling after kissing Mabbs Bank at the Lydden circuit.
