Old newspaper adverts - now with added telly

[Eddie Honda]

A couple stumbled on the other day when I was looking for something else.

 

Both from the Glasgow Herald, June 1980

 

First up, who can't be tempted by the beige interior in the 1976 Volvo 66:

 

 

Also never mind the second-hand motor, just check out teasing tempter of a video cassette recorder for ONE NEW PENNY!

That's about what you'd get for a VCR now.

I'll take the 244 DL auto please. Though a yellow 245 does sound appealing.

Google have digitised the Glasgow Herald and Glasgow Evening Times up to 1990, many hours have been wasted looking at similar adverts.

[Eddie Honda]

Indeed, but if you spot any gems bung them up. I've got a couple more in the pipeline...

 

The VCR one just looks so Viz to me. No idea about the price in 1980, but the old fella bought a Sony C6 in 1983 from Comet Discount in Abbotsinch for a mereî¼Â379 quid which must be over a grand in today's money.

Daily Record is also digitised. Thinking about ringing up for a 1966 VW Camper, 12,000 miles, full MOT, £495. Hope it's still there.

Love old adverts. Some liberties taken here:

 

 

Never in a million years!!

That's about what you'd get for a VCR now.

 

 

You'd make a tidy bit on a 131 Sport though

(From GH, July 1983)

 

Shurely shome mishtake? (At least it's the right colour)

 

 

Side of smoked salmon? It's not a VCR though, is it?

 

 

£3,000? No Mr Neil Scott, it's £2,495. Chancer.

Come across this from STV 1990.

 

I forgot that Peat Road Motors splashed out on BBC Scotland's sports supremo Dougie Donnelly to front this first advert.

 

 

Shame on you Dougie.
