The humour hasn’t aged well, ( or the majority of Cortina’s), some nice sports cars in the background .

It may well have been Dick Emery's - he was a drivibg instructor in a previous life and liked his cars. Who knows?

About 6 years ago, they took down a building in Lancaster to reveal a Ford Cortina advertising hoarding that had been covered since about 1971. For months it was there in all its brown glory, until the weather eventually pealed it off

Shame it couldn't be rescued.

He was a keen motorcyclist too.
