A collection of print ads for cars and car accessories from the early-to-mid 1970s(ish) has been sat in a box of random cuttings here for years (I had a cull of magazines, press releases and car sales brochures many years ago and just kept a few clips back), so I decided to blow off the cobwebs and re-visit these old, almost-forgotten-about, advertising gems.
The cars featured are a mix of British and overseas-built examples, as are the groovy auto accessories that also star in this particular image collection. The fashions and advertising copy are so very 1970s, and many wouldn't see light of day if anyone tried to run them now (sadly?).
Vehicles featured include the Reliant Regal saloon(!), Lancia Fulvia, various Alfa Romeos, Datsun Violet 140J, Triumph 1500TC, MGB, Vauxhall Viva HC, and a selection of BL favourites.
Car parts and accessories include high-tech 8-track cartridge players, motor oils, Harry Moss window demisters, Cosmic alloy wheels, Peco exhaust boxes, and many more that anyone who grew up with cars in the 1970s and 1980s will recognise.
Please take a leisurely walk around the rest of the channel when you're finished with these car related adverts, there are quite a few show visits (eg Weston Park, Goodwood, Loton Park, Oulton Park etc), museum visits (eg Brooklands, Dover Transport museum) and home tinkering exploits here on the Old Classic Car site's Youtube channel.
