Finally, that car advert picture surfaces
Finally, that car advert picture surfaces
Many claimed to have seen it, but was it a Mercedes or a BMW pictured in front of the famous EP wall back in the 1980s?
Anth Rowley spotted the mythical advert, snapped it up and here it is, answering many questions.
The mosaic on the A442 Queensway that runs the length of Telford, is instantly recognisable.
The car in question was a BMW 7 Series. The 750iL to be precise. A mile-munching executive motor, destined for business moguls and lottery winners back in 1987 when the car in the advert was registered.
Sure, a few would have made it to Woodside or Dawley in the early 2000s but now the prices are rising again. If can find one.
Thanks to Anth Rowley for sharing this gem, snipped from the pages of a Vogue magazine.
Not many lottery winners in 1987

My Polish mate owns one.
Don’t know about the car but my uncle helped build the wall!
Ironically, the Police usually just sit there now catching people speeding…..
The new BT advert shot by the Lawley ochre, forged statute will be as iconic in 30 years mark my words
Daved Bicknill is the photo you’ve told me about before ?
