It's still around. A recent shoot by Oli Woodman at the Vauxhall Heritage Collection. Clicky.

Genius. Masterful at both inspiring and annoying people at the same time. Managed to surround themselves with a world class team and had a charisma that meant that team would do anything asked. Sorely missed by many.

 

 

Oh look, Chapman's in that picture too.

Perfect for those picnics where you realise you didn't bring any table, cloth etc and need somewhere to put the food & drink but still keep it warm.

HaHa  Just imagine using those words today the females would be trying to cut the nuts of car dealers world wide !  I wonder how much that lambo that cost 11k back then would be worth now.   Have never seen that little electric ford before wonder if they ever sold any.?

 I'm afraid that I must admit that we are also guilty of some unorthodox advertising in past years...

Be careful where you park your car! A donkey has bitten a Mc Laren, apparently confusing the car with a big carrot.  40.000 € damage.

Perhaps the donkey was making a statement abut the colour and felt compelled to start the prep for a re-paint.

Bit of t-cut and you would never notice   This donkey likes the taste of the finer things in life

Normaly the donkey is driving the car, not biting into it.
