justy 46 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Great to see the magazine advert but did Britains ever do any TV adverts? and has anyone got any footage? Anymore magazine adverts please? Britains done a TV advert in Ireland around the mid 90's I think on the run up to Christmas. From what I can remember it showed the Valmet 115 City with the front loader filling the small tipping trailer(# 9565) with saw dust I think which was hooked behind the Land Rover 90 Defender.!!! Maybe some other Irish forum members might remember this,that is if they were around back then with a good memory!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hajo Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I also have some old adverts from Britains, nicely framed. They are from a weekly comic magazine dating in the '70s - '80s. The Powerfarm poster is also a genuine Ebay-find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristianMatthiesen Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 As promised; various Britains adverts listed chronologically. Only some are listed, as there are several hundreds: 1965: 1965: 1966: 1966: 1967: 1967: 1968: 1968: 1968: 1969: 1969: 1970: 1972: 1973: 1973: 1975: 1976: 1978: 1978: 1978: 1979: 1979: 1980: 1980: 1980: 1980: 1980: 1981: 1982: 1982: 1982: 1982: 1982: 1983: 1983: 1983: 1984: 1984: 1984: 1985: 1985: 1987: 1987: Various: Does anyone know if any of the pictures above are featured in similar British Britains commercials?

super6 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 These are great, tell us more about them please. Are they cut from magazines or are they flyers? Only advert I've seen is one for the Power Farm range and some competitions See item 88 http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/topic/8025-britains-pos/page-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristianMatthiesen Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 @Paul: I shall be pleased to do so. All of the adverts were published in the Danish edition of Donald Duck Magazine – most of them between October and March. Though they, in my view, do not hold any collectable value themselves, they are a fantastic reference for every Britains collector, as they perfectly reflect the various changes in the line and are an effective supplement to the catalogues. In the same way, it is interesting to observe what models were particularly promoted, though it seems that new models were more frequently pictured. Despite the fact that the Volvo was shown several times, and in various settings, it can seem strange, that #9515 Volvo BM Valmet 805 was not promoted, as the real tractor was very popular in Denmark at the time.

MDFord Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Thank You for sharing these adverts with us Christian, they are very interesting to view, and a reminder of Britains great past models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
