Title: 131 TV Ads Post by: Paul S on September 14, 2008, 08:09:04 PM 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 :)

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..... ??? ???
