Trojan Car Advert

Say Hi-De-Hi to these Ho-De-Hotels in this cinema ad for Butlin's winter holiday offering.
Who needs London, Paris or the French Riviera when you can holiday in one of Butlin's hotels? Whether it's the Ocean Hotel near Brighton or the Queen's Hotel in Cliftonville, Kent, Butlin's was clearly keen to set out that its holiday offering went beyond the summer months.
Throughout the 20th century, screen advertising helped transform the car from luxury conveyance for the wealthy to essential commodity, 'hand-built by robots'. It saw out the last days of steam, and made 'the age of the train'. And it presented travel - at home or abroad - as a route to a better life.
