What's hot, and what's not.

With the financial year in the UK wending its weary way towards a close, here's a look at what's been popular here at Retro Adverts in the last 12 months. Or perhaps I should say "what's been trending"; but I'm afraid I only speak English.

Number One best seller, by some distance, has been adverts featuring BMW's with nearly 15% of the total sales. Second, on just over 11%, the good and faithful Mini. Running it a close third, just under 11%, the MG.

And where in the world has the best taste? The good old US of A, who have taken 39% of the total sales. Dear old Blighty runs a close second, on 35%. A long way back, but still demonstrating excellent good taste, bronze medal position goes to the discerning customers of Australia, on 9%.

No doubt this commercially sensitive information will be of enormous help to my competitors, who seem to be proliferating. I actually saw some old car adverts hanging in a pub toilet the other day. Heritage documents, for heaven's sake, in a bog! But on closer examination they were copies, not originals; so perhaps they were in the best place.

No scans or copies at Retro Adverts, of course. Well, except in this blog.
