trisonic Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) I may have missed it, if so ignore me but what kind of lighting will be used this time? Are you going for a set of lights straight down the back scene to avoid any shadows on it etc? Are you going to keep all mains electricity off the wooden bits or what? Nice work, everyone, really. Best, Pete. Edited January 27, 2013 by trisonic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Jason T Posted January 27, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 27, 2013 Lovely work Stu. Where would we be without Microstrip...... The Capri poster dates the layout to 1978 to 1986 as it's a mk3, is that within the correct time period? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted January 27, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2013 Ah, if those are the dates then it is too late - I believe it's the autumn of 1975, so the poster can be used if the stock is moved on a few years. I'm still looking for useable ideas, folks... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I didn't think we had Marlboro Lights back in 1975 but I have found a U.S. advert from 1976 but it may just be we didn't have them over here. Here's a UK mag ad from the 70s - http://www.advertisingarchives.co.uk/en/asset/show_zoom_window_popup.html?asset=51008&location=grid&asset_list=87515407,17971,321,2392,5666,5667,5668,5669,5670,5671,5672,5673,5674,5675,5676,5677,5678,5679,5680,5681,5682,5683,5684,5685,5686,5687,6585,6586,6587,6588,6625,7088,7645,11101,11792,14154,14369,14820,18740,18742,18747,18748,18754,19633,19635,19636,20562,25104,25105,25107,25109,25124,25736,26232,27708,27963,28850,28858,33655,34480,34481,34482,35680,36294,38423,38424,40294,40295,49662,51007,51008,51009,51010,53481,53482,53483,53484,53485,53486,53487,53488,53489,53490,53491&basket_item_id=undefined 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Jason T Posted January 27, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) This was always my favourite Ford advert. Although I am too young to remember it, I've been a fan of Mk1 Escorts for ever. Shame it's a 1973 ad (M reg) Linked because it may be copyrighted: http://www.vintageadgallery.com/id15.html If I remember correctly, the bloke in the photo was quite high up in AVO (Advanced Vehicle Operations) at Ford.

45568 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 And another thought about the pub's name. If it's a real dive how about calling it "The Fiddle" - that's a vile inn. Jeez, I always think of the song, "Love is like a vile Inn"! TTFN, Jimmy Young, aka Peter C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would need to be a Mk 2 as they appeared in Jan 75, although I haven't looked up when the Mexico came out. I was always embarrassed when I saw Mexicos, as their drivers used to flash me thinking I had one, when it was actually a 1600 Sport with spoilers!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted January 27, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2013 Thanks gents ! I like the Mini advert -" sex has never been a problem for us". I've also found a Marina advert, so cars of some sort will be featured. Never having been a smoker, I'll take your advice on what was available when. Chris, apart from the three billboards, would any of the other buildings have adverts on boards ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Never having been a smoker, I'll take your advice on what was available when.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted January 27, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2013 Wasn't this in response to a High Court Judge to said that sex was impossible in the back of a Mini? Did this after 'examining' evidence and practical evidence. Cosmopolitan did a sex-feasibility survey in a number of cars. I think the mini did ok - as proved by millions of determined youngsters, no doubt - but full congress in the Fiat 126 might only be possible by having one's feet out through the sunroof, they thought. You need to be young for that! As for the Marina Coupe TC - Car & Car Conversions magazine tested one at, I think, Snetterton, and concluded that it looked about as composed at speed as a pregnant elephant on ballet shoes! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
