131 TV Ads

[Paul S]

Has anyone got any old TV ads of the 131, either on VHS or that have ben copied to digital media? The one that sticks in my mind was for the '82 Series 3 Supermirafiori where the ad tells you how to "make one" from a Cortina 2.0.  I remember the ad vividly as FIAT ran a press campaign at the same time and I have a double page spread of the ad in an old "What Car" magazine.  I will scan and post this at some point.  For reference the 131 used was light metallic blue and the ad focussed on the performance aspects and extra features the car had like power steering, electric front windows and central locking.  They just don't make comparison ads like that anymore

Excellent link, great advert, why did the Ford outsell the Fiat?

All I can think is that the majority of the UK population does what every one else does even if the opposition does something better.....

Fantastic!!  I have looked for this numerous times on You Tube and it seems someone has eventually  posted it! It is 26 years since I have since this ad!  Made my day
