    Interesting ads. I'm not all that familiar with the post-war British car industry, so never heard of a Lea-Francis before. I assume that most of these brands were gone by the late sixties; would be interesting to know how that played out.

    @HoonThatFerrari: Let's have a look at the manufacturers that started building cars, never stopped, and continue to this day without any brand changes or assimilations.

    Morgan. Bristol. Caterham. And Ginetta. I didn't even know who Ginetta were until I read the article.

    The Rover ads mention a gas turbine powered car. That must have been pretty sick. I wonder what that was all about.

    I love the 401 and 403 Bristols, having owned one briefly in the mid-70s, wouldn't mind another one (albeit in better condition), and liked the ad a lot. The Jaguar ad was great too, and that car (the Mark VII-IX saloons) are another favorite of mine. Impressive assortment of ads!

    I'd take any of these except of course for the Mayflower. The ads are as good as the cars. How are you gonna argue with Rolls? "The Best Car in the World." Game, set and match.
