I love the good old days when footballers had to peddle stuff like this for drinking money.

I recall reading an old Shoot annual from the 80s which had a feature on promising young footballer Peter Beardsley. He was driving a Renault 11, which the local dealership had supplied, presumably gratis as it had the dealer's name in two foot high letters on either side.

Those Victors are perilously close to the sea, you can almost hear the fizzing starting. Is that an Austin/Nash Metropolitan being lifted in the background?

(at least the car is in b&w)

The Vauxhall was massively sucessful - 380,000 sold in all.

I remember them in the 1960's - Mr Millar who lived next door had one. Very rusty - this would be about 1967. The chrome went particularly badly. But in an era when cars were only expected to get to 10yo I'm not sure it really mattered - it was still in use. The estate car was particularly nice.

They were exported to the USA too.
