Very cool, thanks for sharing! I've framed a few old Roadster ads that are hanging in my home office. My favorite is titled " We've got a couple of topless honeys that'll blow your mind!"

I think they were more than a match for most British cars of the day … and they worked.

I love seeing all the old ads again. A bit nostalgic I know, but those were great times!
