Austin Princess 2: Nardo Test Track
Stay one step ahead with the Leyland Princess 2.
British Leyland's revamped Princess is put through its paces at the Nordo test track in Italy. The new Princess benefitted from a front facelift and a range of new engine sizes designed to improve reliability - and a smaller engine was also offered to keep within new road tax rules. Its reputation today is often less than complimentary but in 1979 the Princess was a real contender in the executive car market.
The Open Road
Whether you're going by road, rail, air or sea, this collection of screen ads doesn't just get you from A to B, it offers a road map to an A-Z of desirable destinations.
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.
