MG Advertisement #14

MG Advertisement #13

What is the reasoning with no one driving the car?  I’d love to see ad advertisement of a woman driving the car with the top down and the wind through her hair.  It’s not to be.  Instead you see the couple looking at the car.  Hmmmm.

MG Advertisement #12

I am amazed that they never show anyone driving the car.  My wife had a white one like this when I first dated her.

MG Advertisement #11

Another. This time the guy has decided to ride a bicycle instead of driving the car.

MG Avertisement #9

This is the most blatantly misleading ad I've ever seen for an MG Midget. The lens makes the inside of the car look roomy. I've spent a lot of time in the car and it's anything but.

One thing I've noticed is that you never see the car being driven in these advertisements. Usually the couple is leaning on it, sitting on it or some activity nearby. Interesting.

I haven't had time to dig out the midget so until I can get a real good look at it this week I'll continue to post advertisements I've seen on the web.

Recreating the Advertisements

I've been looking at the old advertisements for the MG Midget. They are Sooooo seventies.

I told the wife that after I get it restored I want to go and recreate all of the ads with the two of us. She gave me the look that I get whenever I suggest something stupid.

I think it would be fun and plan to get her to do it, at least MG Advertisement #2. I already have the car and the guitar.

From the look of the later ads I may have to purchase a skateboard.

I won't be able to get to my MG until next weekend so this week I'll post some of the advertisements that I've found.
