Whats the best car advert?


Guest

Recommended Posts

Looking on youtube found an advert I loved as a kid. VW Golf ad from the late 70's where it dropped out the sky next to Burt kwouk.

Anyone any other faves :?:

Yes, that one interests me because they state they are actually playing the piece on those there instruments, made out of the car bits - but I call BS on that; don't see how you could tune a "double bass" properly out of a wing and clutch cables, let alone how a windscreen wiper could act as a bow :lol: Sadly I read in Autocar that the Fabia "cake" was offered to homeless people in East London, but the H&S folk kiboshed it because it had spent too much time under studio lighting...

^^^ the Fabia ended its days as pig food after that somewhere in south London I believe.As far as ads go, I would like to post a link to the Renault 11 - Its Tough On The Streets ad, but as I'm at work and can't access YouTube I won't.Always liked the Peugeot one where the car drives past the burning fields, can't remember the car or the song used though.Rather liking the new Renault Koleos advert at the moment as it features R4, R16, R12 and R30!

or SA, or ones that feature disguised versions of cars.

Like that Mondeo advert where everybody is pushing their old cars into the air tied to clusters of helium balloons? (where the old cars don't look like any real car I can identify.....are they meant to be Sierras? If so why can't they just show them in their true form, considering they're a product of their own making, couldn't they find enough decent ones left? :?

Montego ad where he (Russ Swift) drives on two wheels, jumps, handbrake turns to park etc. Sorry, can't be arsed to find it on YouTube.

Can't immediately think of a favourite, but I can state that I'm not keen on any ad that's been made somewhere like NZ or SA, or ones that feature disguised versions of cars.

Or the generic international ones, like this
Which is apparently set in and around Glasgow.... :roll: Why have they even bothered?

I like the fairly recent Honda one with the cheap Burt Reynolds using all the random old Honda machinery, but I can't find it yet. Soz.

What where he ends up going over a waterfall in a kayak or something & then suddenly appears in a balloon or airship all the while singing his lungs out?

This one?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOd7MvqV ... re=relatedI loved this one as a child, still got the UK version on tape somewhere. I also really like the Renault 25 'Origin Of The Species' ad, which I also have on tape, but can't find on Youtube - it's the one with a 25 driving down a volcano to an operatic soundtrack. Much better than the smug yuppies that came later!Here's Arfur Fowler giving it some in an Allegro (rotten quality - the clip, not the car. Love the music!)
- FOX 867L survived until 1985, according to the DVLA, though after seeing Arthur's driving, I have to wonder how!The Vauxhall Chevette is whatever you want it to be:
- the song from this advert was released as a single by First Class (of 'Beach Baby' fame) as 'Life Is Whatever You Want It To Be'!

Almost, UK version is here -

That's odd, I don't remember that one at all!Not a TV ad, but does anyone remember when they launched the Renault 25, they put up an enormous pillar somewhere in London and stuck a 25 on the top? I took a photo of it, but it was from a moving car so essentially it looks like some sky with a vague blur underneath.

The 605 to the tune of Berlin - Take My Breath Away.....or was it the 405?? :?:
405. Didn't they ban that ad for some reason? Jasper Carrot did a good spoof :)
