Aaaargh. That advert is amazing.
You may find it quaint, and the language odd, but spare a thought for the poor sod who got the job to write it.
To put this in perspective by 1975. Ford were into the Mk3 Cortina, Mk 1 Granada, Escorts and of course the Capri 2. These cars knocked the socks of everything BMC were churning out IMHO.
BMC or Leyland or BLMC or whatever could not even make a key that fitted both the door and ignition. Can you imagine, two keys, one to get in and another to start. And the plastic part on the ignition keys - it used to fall off after a bit of use.
Sorry guys, I know some of you have a thing for the SD1 Rovers, but they were dogs. I had one and the engine was the only good bit (3.5 V8). Even the Lucas fuel injection was pants.
They had the rear axle from the haywain, and it showed. On the other hand the Granadas had an independent set up that left the Rovers standing... or sliding about.
This was our home grown, home owned car industry flushing its self down the sewer. IMHO
Don't blame the workers. It was the management at the very top.
Rant over
