Rover 600 - Infamous Rover 600 commercial

An Infamous Rover 600 commercial from 1997, which somehow got passed by ASA, before being hastily withdrawn after a public outcry.

In light of historical events since then, its even worse.

Agreed, they'd never get it passed now unless the exchanged hostage wore a seatbelt.

And no DRL's, think of the camels that could have been injured if they hadn't seen the car.
