Anyone remember the 1970's Leyland Australia mini TV advert set in a circus environment?
Had a catchy jingle song. "Mini-mini-mini" and had mini's jumping ramps thru hoops.
Been looking unsuccessfully for it on Youtube for ages.
Maybe the advert was destroyed and lost forever?

Sounds like a terrific advert...I heard the Australian version of the "Mini Mini Moke" on the radio a while back but couldn't find out who did it :| (sounds like the froggy song)

I remember that fun circus ad with a fond smile on my face. Like you I’ve searched YouTube and never found it. I hope it surfaces one day, would be good to see it again.

I think it was 1977 or 78 that it was on TV. We’d just moved into a new house in 77 and mini production ceased in 78, hence my suggested time line.

There was another fun ad at that time “Suzuki four wheel jive” very disco era. Sorry getting off mini topic.

Si...

Maybe you could ask the national film and sound archive in Canberra, I really don't know if they do that sort of requests but they can only say no.

You can search their collection.

That's how I found this NSW Police Cooper S footage.
