Hire An Interceptor via Avis

Post by 3.0CSL »

Superb advert from circa 1969! And as for the girl :P l omg!
I wonder who she was and what became of this car ?

Guessing Avis bought this car new, so the Sales ledger should have its details ?

Thats a very early Mk2 Car, and yet in the ad they say 7 litre :? , In that pic the Rostyles already seems to be showing a few sign signs of rust.. Just what you needImage, if you bought one new and we were an anorak like most of us then I would think the only ting to do in that situation would be toImage, but .. we weren't Jensen Anoraks back then and that was what was happening, I guess what you could have done was go back to Jensens and Image

The guy in that ad looks like a sexual predator.

Obviously, an ad like that would never fly today - that’s for sure

Funny though, I never noticed how bad those wheels look until somebody pointed it out.

I noticed the scruffy wheels etc on this car as well.

Is there a Sales Ledger that may shed some more light on the details of this car ?

I won't tell you her name but I did take her out a couple of times when she was working in Sydney in the late '60's. True! It is unnerving now to realise she is an old woman today. Wouldn't get a glance from us. Old age is a regret.
The ad is VERY poor. Unless they just used any old shot. The photographer would have posed her and taken many shots. You could almost hear her saying "is this alright?"
