Man, those special wheels are nearly as special as his glasses. Gotta love the 80s.

Love the ad and I loved the motor!

Sadly the cam belt snapped on mine :(

I had wondered about the skyline, though I recognised the Tyne Bridge.

Thanks for the info! :)

[hungary4success]

Yeah! Quite right too! :)

Actually the Lx versions of the Sierra were quite popular. They were aimed at the fleet buyers who bought them by the bucketload.

If you dont like them then tough, sod off somewhere else and whinge.

The early part is clearly filmed in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne as the Tyne bridge and Newcastle skyline is clearly recognisable. There's a billboard for BBC Radio Sheffield so the rest was filmed a bit further south, by the looks of it. The voice is John Shrapnel, a prolific voice over at the time and current provider of the 'Gillette' ad voice over.
