I remember seeing that a lot, they get driven away in a Ford Zephyr Mk2 soft top at the end.  "Big" Ron Tarr, Chris "Mike" Ryan & Brian "Flying Picket" Hibbard?

The short one is Daniel Peacock, he also appeared in one of the "Wot no meat?" ads for British meat. Was also Mental Mickey' in the episode of Only Fools and Horses where Rodney formed a band ("I DO THE ONE-TWO-THREE-FOURS!!!")

Loved this one, bloody clever at the time!

Funny, I was going to post this one. I only remember it because I caught the last half of it on VHS recording something off channel 4 in 1988 and it is the first thing on the tape. Still got the tape, somewhere. Don't have anything to play it on though.

Peacock was also in this which my Dad fondly remembers: 

(With bonus MK1 Transit action)

He was also the gardener who buried Victor Meldrew up to his neck in the garden and was a new prisoner in the Porridge film

There's a similar one for the Mustang with a "field of dreams" theme.

He also adapted The Diary Of a Teenage Health Freak for TV, & appeared in it as Peter's Dad.

Whatever happened to these companies offering car finance to the desperate and stupid sub prime UK population?

Cinch and Cazoo supply the cars and the rip off finance.

Still is very clever, when you think of the shite being pumped out now.

He played Toby in the 1980's film "Party Party" with lots of other unknown actors, some now famous.

Great film if you were a teenager back then, as it is of its time. 

Fair bit of Mark III Cortina action too, and a great soundtrack.

Does anyone remember the cosmetic advert (possibly Insignia) made around 1990 & set in the future where towards the end of the Ad the 20 something  star walks past a woman of the same age & says "Hi Gran!".  She looked a bit like Kylie Minogue.

There was a later ad where the Gran explained what the buttons on her arm did, apart from one!

There's mad, and then there's Grace Jones:

Citroën. L'origine de la tecnologie créative.

Spitting Image did a brilliant piss take of this, comparing ‘French car’ which showed the CX driving out of Grace’s head and then ‘British car’ where a generic gormless idiot rubber head coughed out a Corgi Mini Metro!

Was there an Allegro one with the Nolan Sisters, or have I just dreamt that?

The tagline was ‘Allegro’s got vroom for Five’ which also featured on posters (there’s a famous pic of Red Robbo holding a union meeting in front of one of these ads). 

The TV ad definitely featured 1970s ‘glamorous’ ladies, maybe the Nolans just did the song and Pans People or similar did the leggy bits.

Presumably you mean this one? Not the Nolans nor Pans People though.

Ha ha that’s it! Good knows where I got the Nolan sisters thing from.

I would have about 5 when it first aired, but those ladies’ legs obviously stuck in my memory….

Continuing with the Toyota ad theme (and sorry if its already been posted), they clearly do adverts differently in Fiji.
