Let's See What You Could Have Won

I think rules meant that prizes couldn't be too expensive, hence all the Minis and Metros.

 

By the nineties, that was over so they could give away larger cars but almost always from Future Shite brands like Daewoo (as mentioned), Seat, Kia etc. Bruce Forsythe gave away some random stuff on "The Price is Right", I remember a few kit cars on the late 90s early 00s episodes. Had a quick look and found this Ferrari* on one. MR2 based by the dash, I'd suppose:

The recording overran into the another episode, but this time the hair dos were different and the jackpot £5000. Having no end titles to check the date, fat bloke down the internet told me that it must have been 1993.

What is this car that dolly dealers Vicki Brattle and Sophie Allisstone are posing with?

I switched over to Challenge TV earlier this afternoon and caught the end of 'Wheel of Fortune' from the late 1980s, presented by a young and well coiffured Nicky Campbell. One of the star prizes was a Metro City in primrose yellow. The voiceover guy said it was an 'Austin Rover Metro' but I think Austin Rover was officially dropped by then.

Wheel Of Misfortune offered some great cars. Metros, Pandas, Novas, Renault 5s, Kia Prides, Suzuki Santanas...
