Some period adverts.

0Hmmm… except Harry Parky’s Atki isn’t a Borderer!
I guess the advert dates from before the time when Frank Whalley was in charge of these things, rather than a Seddon predecessor
From memory that advert came out of a commercial motor mag from the 70s. I downloaded it a few years ago !
