The Ginko brochure, in Italian and English, was very much aimed at teenage drivers used to a two-wheeler, and talked up the safety features built into the model. It had a top speed of 45km/h for the diesel (for drivers aged 14+) and 85km/h for the petrol (16+).

The Mercury Grand Marquis (a more luxurious Ford Crown Victoria) was a 21st century example of a nearly-extinct breed: the traditional full-size American RWD sedan. For 2003-2004 a separate, more sporty model called the Mercury Marauder was also available.

AC Cars seemed set to join the supercar makers in the late 1960s with the launch of the 7-litre 428 convertible and fastback. With their Frua-styled looks, they were easily mistaken for Italian exotica and had a price-tag to match: only 81 were built in total.

The car should not be confused with Rover's own 2000, a belated addition to the SD1 range. This used a 104bhp 2-litre version of BL's four-cylinder O-series engine, a unit dating from 1978. Aimed at company car drivers, the 2000 was criticised for its lack of performance.

Lamborghini launched the SV (Super Veloce) version of its Diablo in 1995, with the power output of the 5.7-litre V12 increased to 510hp. There was an adjustable body-colour rear spoiler, while the SV side decals shown here were optional.

The R was quite something although its Rolls-Royce engine wasn't quite the silky smooth unit buyers imagined.

Austin's luxury Westminster model was given a new Pinin Farina-styled body with the launch of the latest A99 version in 1959. The brochure noted the 'new imperious lines' as well as the 'new urgent power' from the enlarged 2.9-litre six.

Fiat's habit of routinely offering small coupés was coming to an end by the early 1970s, but the 128 did get its own unique Sport Coupé body, shown in this 1974 UK brochure. At the time the prominent side window upkick saw its styling described as 'cow-hipped'.

There was also a more basic Mira Gino, with plastic wheel trims and without the grille-mounted spotlamps. It could be customised with many options, however. The models were derived from the big-selling Mira L700, also sold as the Daihatsu Cuore in Europe.

SEAT dipped a toe into the 4X4 SUV market with the rather odd-looking Altea Freetrack 4. Based on the XL version of the existing Altea, slightly raised, its massive plastic bumpers stood out, particularly in the Crono Yellow of this 2008 UK brochure cover car.
