Although the cars were the butt of many jokes, their low prices and proactive marketing meant Škoda could proudly boast of nearly 100,000 sales in the UK. The company's import and spares hub, based at the Norfolk port of King's Lynn, featured in the brochure.

Incremental improvement was the order of the day at Škoda, and for 1982 its rear-engined saloons, called Super Estelle in the UK, gained bigger rear lights as well as a new rectangular headlight style for certain models. The 105S, 120L and LE feature here.

Chrysler's run as one of Australia's 'big three' automakers began in 1962 with the assembly of the Valiant, a US-designed 'compact' which gradually became more and more Australian. The 1966 VC series is shown in this brochure, with new squared-off styling.

One trump card the early VXR (VX Racing) range had over its OPC (Opel Performance Center) equivalent was its exclusive Australian flagship, the Monaro VXR, based on an enhanced HSV version of the Holden (and Vauxhall) Monaro coupé. It had a mighty 6.0-litre V8 developing 403bhp.

VXR was Vauxhall's high performance sub-brand between 2004 and its demise in 2017, the equivalent of OPC over at Opel. In its heyday the VXR magic was extended to some unlikely vehicles, including the 144mph Zafira VXR, hailed as the fastest MPV ever made.
