Title: Lancia at the Co-op Post by: frankxhv773t on 16 January, 2011, 04:41:45 PM I was watching that really boring Co-op ad on the telly last night. Then the shot of the two kids with some toy cars on the back steat of an MPV came up and I thought Blimey! that's a Beta Sedan they've got there. I got out my Politoys 1:43 Beta 1800 and my daughters checked out the ad. later on and confirmed the sighting.
I don't think there's much cool quotient in the Co-op but how jolly to see a Beta Sedan on telly, even if it is a toy. And my daughters didn't acuse me of being sad...........

If so, do you mean the one in the picture attached? I'm not sure, but that looks a bit like a Corgi Rover SD1 to me. I'm sure a certain Mr Collins will know for sure!
Title: Re: Lancia at the Co-op Post by: frankxhv773t on 17 January, 2011, 10:00:24 PM You are of course perfectly correct. What a shame. I was quite excited for a bit there. And I will have to send my daughters back to car recognition classes!
Yours disappointedly Frank Title: Re: Lancia at the Co-op Post by: Betaboy2.0 on 17 January, 2011, 10:07:56 PM Never mind.
Let's just tell ourselves that the Co-op's first choice was a Beta saloon model, but it got veto'd by the Producer in a bid to encourage "buy British" A Title: Re: Lancia at the Co-op Post by: Harvey on 17 January, 2011, 11:02:14 PM ...that looks a bit like a Corgi Rover SD1 to me... Panel gaps like that? - definitely a Rover! Title: Re: Lancia at the Co-op Post by: thecolonel on 17 January, 2011, 11:03:10 PM Meeeeooooow !!!
