Launched in late 1957, the Edsel range had been pitched as entirely new and revolutionary. It failed to live up to the hype and suffered many quality glitches. This is an early brochure showing the initial grille design. Ford ignominiously cancelled the unloved brand in 1960.

The 2-door Dorset proved to be rather short-lived, being withdrawn after less than 16,000 were made, but the Devon's worldwide success lasted into the 1950s. This subsequent brochure, with its speed-related cover drawing, shows later marketing focused on the car's performance.

Gemini models for Japan included 1.5-litre petrol and 1.7 diesel models. It was also exported to North America as the Isuzu Stylus. These were the final Isuzu-built Geminis, as for the last two generations the company was reduced to rebadging Honda Domanis.

@frontofstore It was also a limited edition production model too, reviving the BRM name that unfortunately meant little to most customers. The car is symptomatic of lots that went wrong with Rover marketing in the 1990s after the end of the Honda era.
