It was finding a stand at a recent classic car show selling posters and postcards based on period MG adverts that led me to build this site in the first place, and the company concerned was kind enough to send me thumbnails of their LBC (Little British Car) collection. Surprisingly, "You can do it in an MG" isn't amongst them, but both it and "Your mother wouldn't like it" (with a nod to the different generation) have been resurrected in a current MGF campaign.

Don't forget that the copyright for all of this material is owned by someone - The British Motor Museum in the case of MG, Austin, Morris etc. images - and the rights to the reproductions of the posters and postcards shown here are owned by the supplier as follows:

In November 1998 the price of the A3 (16.5in x 11.75in approx.) posters was UKP5.99 inclusive of post and packing, and the postcards (6in x 4in approx.) were 50p each plus 26p postage. (Postage to outside the UK may be extra).

I have no connection with either The British Motor Museum or Vintage Ad Gallery. My sole reason for displaying these images on this non-profit making site is so that you too can purchase and enjoy them. Remember that the images are scans of thumbnails with consequent loss of detail. Also the postcard thumbnails were printed on a budget inkjet printer and consequently colour fidelity is quite poor. Take it from me that the posters and postcards themselves are of high resolution and true colour.

For interest you might like to read this essay written by Laura, a student at The University of Nottingham on "semiotic analysis of period and current MG advertisements", and published by The Cambridge & District MGOC on the MG BBS.

MG images frequently crop up in greetings cards, and for Christmas 1998 our daughter found us one which came with this envelope. The image is faint as it was little more than a watermark on the envelope. Recognise the car? (It's 'Old Number 1', Kimber's Land's End Trial Gold Medal winner).

These classic and modern Grand Prix posters and postcards are from my own collection:
