There's more ads, are there copywrite on these? Cool same year as my mini. I might copy it to my list of period images. copyright, No. Your only posting images of interest to a classic car forum, not passing them off as your own work. Its long out of date at anyrate. |

I love the "Accelerates like a dragster 0-50 in 13.9!" Creative advertising at it's best. Nice find and it looks in fantastic condition too. |

Publishers copyright lasts 25years - intellectual copyright last 75 years if the author/graphic artist can prove they actually wrote it. |

Creative advertising at it's best. They're just continuing the bike analogy ....

according to the Reserve Bank Inflation Calculator,a Mini costing 833 pounds in 1965 would cost the equv of $17,484 today. 
Do you think a new car with the selling points of that Mini Deluxe would find any buyers today for that price......

Quote: Accelerates like a dragster
Dragsters must have come a long way since then  
Or do they mean it accelerates in a forwards direction like a dragster

I saw on a BBC programme guys talking about the Mini and how Ford bought one and took it apart. They struggled to see how it was built for a profit, and the answer they came to was that the mini was sold at close to cost. 833 pounds in 1965 is, in 2008 NZ$27757.80. (From the Reserve Bank of NZ CPI calculator). A Suzuki Swift sells, at a profit presumably, for NZ$16,990. Seats five and won't kill you in an accident. Negligible maintenance. Cars these days are cheap. |
