Phew! There's some incredible old car adverts there fellas! Thanks for putting these up, never seen many of those before! Also most newspapers had the black and white illustrations of the car dealer adverts, as they did in my town, and looks like some "dealer specials" on offer there with some tempting prices at the time!
Lada in particular sold on standard equipment and good value for money rather than the latest technology but would have a number of people in the drivers seat of their first brand new car.
A few of the advert styles and sentiments would not be tolerated today - of course, but many of those adverts evoke nostalgia from flipping through motoring mags and comparing the various marketing ploys. Also many of the dealer chains were happy to take the franchise for more than one make or brand too.
Here's a few famous TV ones I remember from way back;
Austin Mini Metro:
Ford Sierra:
Vauxhall Cavalier;

There's even a Sweeney face in that last one Gerry. Perraut (Norman Jones) from Bad Apple appears at 13 seconds in. Gene.

I love these old car adverts, keep them coming You are a very naughty boy for liking these adverts Carty. There are sexist, machine-loving, driving-fast inducing, anti-green ads. I want you to go outside, glue yourself to a road and have a careful think about how you fit into the modern world.
