Favorite Land Rover Ad/Scans

[D110XD]

This is my favourite from South Africa

best regards,
Michael

[chrisvonc]

haha... great thread Michael! Lets see if we can get them all here.

[rustydefender]

I have a south african friend that moved hear to the states a couple years ago b/c of the instability down thheir. He told me they took safari's off road all the time to avoid landmines on some of the main roads. They always drove in large convoys for safety in which their were jeeps, fj40's, fj60's, jeeps, raiders, troopers and pajeros but he said at one time or another they would all break down or get stuck all except for one. You guessed it a D-110! Made me feel good about owning a landy.

[norros]

Here's a few generic one's... but all of them are my favorite's. I have more somewhere which I'll have to track down.


Michael, I love that one!! ...never saw it... Hopefully me in a few years.

Cheers,

Nicholas

[JBurt]

I've never seen that one before, anyone know where I can get a high-res.?
Thanks in advance.

[flippedrover]

Here's my favorite from a local dealer.

[rover4x4]

hey Nicholas do you have any higher res photos of those ad's??? If so would you please e-mail them to me? thanks.

[Sergeant_V]

I like this one

[rustydefender]

Man I sure would like to frame some of those and put them up in my garage or office. My photo printer wouln't make a big enough print. Those were some pretty well written adds.

[JBurt]

Michael, where did you find that ad, do you have a link to a high res. one or a copy you could email?
Thnx.

[WCURoverD90]

I really like this one....

I have started getting these on Ebay and framing them and hanging them up around our shop at home along with some Land Rover Neon signs as well as banners and metal signs. Really makes the shop look a lot nicer.

[norros]

Phil,


I don't have the high-res one's, and I don't think you'll find them online for that particular reason... I purchased all of them off of eBay and just saved the pic from when I purchased them. I believe there's a website that has all the ads on it... maybe someone knows, cuz i don't remember. I think I've got all of them now...
I have done what Jason does... except I don't have a shop... YET !

haha...

Cheers,


Nicholas
Oh yeah, almost forgot... There was a guy on here who works for the advertising agency that does Land Rover, at least until a year or so when I got this information. I was going to email him to see if he could get his hands on the original .psd's (the photoshop document...or something close to it that they use) and get them to the D90 Source members but I never got around to it. If someone knows the 'dude' (can't remember his name !!!) they may want to try that route. He probably won't be able to, but it may be worth a shot.

[WCURoverD90]

Nicholas,
Not to get off topic or anything but getting that shop takes time...It took my dad and I forever to convince my mom to let us get one....lol....We started out with a 3 car shed and just kept adding shit as we went. Now we have a place that we can work on any of our vehicles. I tend to invite all my high school buddies over for a night of partying when im home from school, that usually works good...LOL....If your married keep on the Mrs. and get a shop. I thought my dad was crazy spending all that money on tools and all but its really worth it....

[D110XD]

Michael, where did you find that ad, do you have a link to a high res. one or a copy you could email?
Thnx.I'm sorry. The max resolution I have is 778*500 . But I think you can make it bigger via Photoshop or Corel...
I've sent you an email.

Best regards,

Michael

[JSQ]

I'm fond of this:

[norros]

Couple mo' original LR ads...


N

Oh, and this one I just found on my 'Items I'm Watching' on My eBay, I was going to buy it, always liked this one, but I always forget to check eBay when I'm watching something... In any case, went for 36 bucks... an old BFGoodrich Advertisement.

[WCURoverD90]

Anyone know how many NAS Defender 90 Ads there are. I don't even know if they were split NAS and UK specs but I have what seems to be all of them and was wondering if someone could give me a count on the total amount of ads.

[boshea]

Does anyone have any copies of the original Defender ads that could be scanned and posted on a section in the site?

Thanks,
Brian

[chrisvonc]

Brian, give this thread a look. http://www.d-90.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4611 I think a couple might have some hi-res versions they were emailing to each other.

[TDI Guy]

Where do we get these with high resolution? I like the south africa one

[boshea]

Thanks Chris!

[boshea]

Do you guys have these ads in a higher resolution that you could email to me?

Thanks,
Brian (brianjoshea@yahoo.com)

Follow-up Post:

Nice looking truck...Ralph actually owns an old Series II that he keeps on his ranch in Ridgway, CO

[sherpamike]

that's martin's old truck in the polo ad, right? it is a great looking defender in person too. Anyone know where it ended up?

[WCURoverD90]

I heard a while back where it went but i can't remember....I saw a few more pictures of it as well as that polo ad.

[ccrover]

-craig

[boshea]

[Mark M]

Does anyone have a copy of the dealer brocure for the '94 model year soft top? I found a defender brocure on e-bay a while back, but it is for a 95 Wagon.

Thanks.

-Mark

[JBurt]

[stevewhitaker]

This is one I kept in my files from 1964. Beside the wicker sides, note the "chic" sidelanterns.

[TDI Guy]

I just found my BFG Poster ad that I sent away for in 1994. I will tru to post a pic soon. ITs the 94 ST and the truck is pink along with the backround.

[paulb]

Here are two shots.
Lots of IIIs and Defenders. Funny that almost all tow trucks were LRs. The Japanese imports have however taken over and ALL new cars are Japanese. I saw 1, only 1 Disco.
My brother in law works there and he was laughing at me as I hunted the LR - to many to count

[stevewhitaker]

In 1965 Rolls Royce used to take a full size page in newspapers stating "At 60 Miles and Hour, the Loudest Noise You Can Hear is the Tick of the Clock". This was Land Rover's answer to that ad from the LA times in that year. Sorry, but the page was folded and had aged in the last 40+ years.

It was neat to see all the Land Rover agencies in the US posted around the perimeter of the ad. This was before British Leyland took over Land Rover and gutted the dealers and service.

[Mike Hippert]

Stephen that ad is Awsome! Thanks for posting it!

[stevewhitaker]

You're welcome Mike, and Happy Birthday by the way. My family has been defending Land Rovers since my dad bought that Series II 109 in March 1961, which I still have by the way. There used to be some cool ads way back when.

I still have a copy of a road test magazine from 1961 where in one article they tested the new Porsche 904, with acceleration curve and all (0-60 in something like 6 seconds). The very next article was on the Land Rover 109, with the acceleration curve's "x" axis running out to 33 seconds and the Land Rover still not up to 60 yet. What a hoot!

[Mike Hippert]

Stephen thats awsome you guys still have the Rover after all these years! Some day I'll own a Rover older then me! LOL 0-60 in over 33 seconds! Hmm time for a V8!

[WCURoverD90]

Not to Hijack the post but does anyone know where i can purchase the BFG/Land Rover Ad or poster

[chrisvonc]

eBay is where i see them pop up every so often

[WCURoverD90]

Yeah i have been looking...i even tried to find an archive of BF Goodrich's Ad's but was unsucessful

[Cyborg]

I would love to get copies of any high res scans of ads anyone may have....

cyborg63@comcast.net

Please??

Larry

[EnduroPro]

Is it too late to ask/beg for hi res photos? I'd love to furnish the office. I'll take some of the stuff I have and run it thru a scanner for others too. I have a bunch of cool stuff.



maybe it'll help if I leave an email address... stephenleblanc@yahoo.com

[kellymoe]

I have a complete set of Desert magazines from 1938-1980 something. In the editions of the mid 60's there are several differant Land Rover ads as well as ads for Koenig Winches which feature Land Rovers in the ads. When I get time I will take some pictures of them and post them.

[windsurfer]

This is my favourite from South Africa

best regards,
Michael
Michael, do you have a high res version of that advert it is superb and have never seen it before, if so could you mail it to mark980@btinternet.com.

Thanks.

[smenzel]

We should figure out some place to host these hi-res images so that everyone who wants can get them. How big are the images?

[MLP141]

I saw that Norros posted an image of the BFG poster "Rover has a mean bite."

Does anyone know where I can buy that potser (or even a good version of the advertisement). It is that very poster that first caught my eye and turned me on to Land Rovers. My college roommate had a magazine ad versino of it on his wall. I love that poster!

[chrisvonc]

Now that the site is on the new server, space is not an issue and I can start hosting all kinds of large files like these and start video too.

[MLP141]

Does anyone have a copy of the BFG "Rover has a mean bite" potser or print advert they'd like to part with.

Nice Ad...!!!

[Overlander]

Not only great ad, but that's the first Defender I've seen with a tropical roof (although it looks homemade). Anybody else know of Defender tropical roof additions? That's one thing I wish they maintained from the earlier Series.

[sherpamike]

Here is an ad my dad found in a magazine (Jane's Defence weekly) at work. sorry about the terrible scan...

[MonLand]

Did anyone got to host those higher-res ads somewhere?
If not, shoot them my way (d90.nas at gmail dot com) and I'll post them somewhere people can download them.

[Neil McCauley]

Still my favorite. :grin

[671rover]

Did anyone reply to your request? I also want them if available.

[MonLand]

Did anyone reply to your request? I also want them if available.
Nope! :(

[chrisvonc]

I can host them now on this server. We have the space.

[Burke]

I have all of the original D90 magazine ads from '94-'97 framed. My favorite is "Who says the British can't cook?" If anyone is interested I can try to get them scanned somewhere...

[WCURoverD90]

How many ads are there....I got as many as i could find and had them framed and put in his office.

[Burke]

I have 6, but after going through this thread I noticed I am missing a couple. Ebay here I come!

[MonLand]

Yes, we are interested and Chris offered to host the files! :)
Next time I'll go to my folk's I'll take the few ads I have.

Follow-up Post:

Did you guys kept track of which magazine (or other location) you got the ads from?

[rmuller]

Did anyone ever get any high resolutions scans together? I'll happily host them on one of my servers if someone can send them to me.

[WCURoverD90]

I found all mine on EBAY so I don't know which mags they came out of.

[MonLand]

I found all mine on EBAY so I don't know which mags they came out of.
Any chance you could scan them?

[JBOD77]

anybody want to start this up again....Hi res scans would be really awesome...I tried the link that CVC posted but it appears to be dead........anybody with any info......

[NashvilleRover]

The Land Rover Nashville Dealership has a poster in the centre managers office of an elephant "mounting" the back of a Defender 90. The poster states: "everone loves a Land Rover"

Anyone ever seen this? Know where I can get one?

Thanks,
D Jarrett

[AggieD90]

All of mine have been mounted and framed...I'll look and see how simple it might be to get it apart if no one else has any loose to scan.

[MonLand]

I bought the pink BFG ad showing a Defender. It's much bigger than what my scanner can take (not sure, 2'x3'? not in front of it at the moment), but I will try to just take a picture of it. I'm assuming 8 mega pixels is high resolution enough?
Seems like taking a picture should be fairly convenient for everyone (assuming you have a tripod/you have stable setup/you are very very calm).

[Epsom_D2]

Found this one for the 2007 Defender.

[WCURoverD90]

THat is awesome....

[Wolf Fabrication]

Stumbled across this site - lots of ads:

Landroverclub Ads (http://www.landroverclub.net/Club/HTML/Advertising_late.htm)

Hi there

This is a classic Land Lover TV advert ...

[Muscat]

I love the "We make de tyres under defenders" advert (BFG advert?). Anyone have a copy?

Check out http://www.fourfold.org/LR_FAQ/ads/index.html for a load of LR adverts. I particularly liked this one...

But then I'm a Brit. Not sure if this works for Hummers...

[phoenix37]

Hey just a heads up if any of you guys are bidding on the NAS 110 ad on ebay right now. I bought from this woman a couple weeks ago and it was ruined by the time it got to me. Make sure if you are paying this much for a page cut out of a magazine that at least its got a piece of cardboard or something in the envelope so it doesnt get crumpled.

[kibbi57]

Sorry to be so late, I just joined the forum. I have collected about 70 Land Rover ads and I think they're great. I would love to trade some hi-res scans or post them or something.

[rmuller]

Chuck -- I'd love some high res scans if you get a chance to put them together!

[kibbi57]

The file is 2.87 GB. What would be the best way to send?

[MonLand]

The file is 2.87 GB. What would be the best way to send?
I'd recommend either a direct connection (something like Skype to avoid any firewall related issues) or a file share like Shareaza/eMule/whatever is used these days.
The other option is a physical media shipped to an address.....

[rmuller]

The file is 2.87 GB. What would be the best way to send?If there is enough interest, the best solution would be to serve it up as a torrent, that way we can all share with one another and share the bandwidth among us. The other solution would be to find someone who could host it on one of their webservers, FTP the file over to them and have them host it. If I still had a viable server I'd offer to do that, but the servers I have now are limited in space and bandwidth.

You could also try uploading the pictures to some place like Google's Picasaweb or another hosting provider, and let them worry about the bandwidth. If you want to try to send the file to me, I can at least generate smaller files for people to look at, and then contact you if they want the full size image.

Ryan

[MonLand]

You could upload the file using one of those (free) alternatives and post the link here:
http://freedrive.awardspace.com/storage.htm

[MonLand]

So.... Is anything happening?

[BEIS]

Did anybody find out a way to share all the ads online? Like everyone else, I'd love to print out some high-res versions of the ads. PM me if anybody has access to the giant file or can send me a CD of them or something. I'll gladly pay somebody for it if need be. Thanks!

-Ryan

[Lucasd2002]

Thanks Google.

[Wolf Fabrication]

Just found this cool one on Ebay

[sn1987]

i can host the ads if they would find a way to me somehow, size is not a problem since i have access to Amazon S3.

This is our landy ad, happily available for print and shipping costs if anyone interested.

So please explain... are there a bunch of really good looking ladies somewhere that like Defenders, and like to perch on them?
Never thought that a Defender could ever be a chick magnet... Then again I do live in the mid-west!

We all get chicks throwing themselves and/or their panties at us. Living in the mid-west though you probably confused them for loose bedsheets that got off the laundry line.

[sn1987]

something like that :-)

defender is a chick magnet, because nobody judges your income from it, just they believe you are crazy

[chrisvonc]

I think Jon is busy getting sick at just realizing it was not run away laundry hitting his truck all these times.

You are a welcomed breath of fresh air. Where in Germany are you?

Hahaha, just spit coffee all over my screen. Thanks! Sadly enough the only hoots/hollers I get are from dudes in Jeeps. I do get some looks sometimes from chicks in their trucks, but then again they are not looking at me, just my truck.

Here is a good source for vintage ads:

[gliebig]

I have a couple of these that I purchased off ebay a few years ago. The one I'm looking for is the one with the defender and the elephant is mounting it. I think it says "Everyone loves a land rover" or something like that. I remember seing it on ebay once and i should've picked it up. :angry

[gliebig]

Just found some good ones here...
