1987 Vauxhall Carlton Advert Features NSU Ro80

Description

In this 1987 UK advert for the Vauxhall Carlton they used an NSU Ro80 to show how the Carlton "Certainly puts the skids under it's rivals" despite the fact that the Ro80 came out in 1967 and ceased production some 10 years before the Carlton even came out! It was used due it's modern looks so as not to offend any of the other current manufacturers of the time by using one of their vehicles. The Ro80 was clearly handbrake turned for such dramatic effect.
