The man in the check shirt was mates with our drama teacher at school.He came in to help out once.Nice bloke.It was a few years after the Swithland motors ad campaign.He told us that he’d been on the tele but that we probably wouldn’t remember.Well I did remember it.How could you forget such a classic.

Didn't Gordon Banks have a partnership in Swithland Motors at some point?

I think he part financed them in some way.

IIRC Swithland were the first to import Skoda's which were generally binned off as crap (which they were back then). Look where they are now.

First place to have a sales team that were all women, iirc? Seen as a gimmick then, wouldn't be even commented on now.

Shame it all went pear-shaped and legal measures were involved. Wonder what my old class mate Ricky is up to now...
