2CV advertising

Can anyone point me to the funny ads Citroen UK used for the 2CV, eg the one about overtaking the Ferrari, same number of wheels as a Roller one?

Thanks

Hi there, here is the ad, my apologies for the scanning, it seems my scanner is having an off day! If you need a better copy I would be happy to do a photocopy of the original & send you one, PM me if you like with details.

Checked scanned image & cant read the smaller print so I thought I would add it here as it is quite funny:

FASTER THAN A FERRARI
Traveling flat out @ 71.5mph the Citroen 2CV will easily overtake the Ferrari Mondial traveling @ 65mph.

AS MANY WHEELS AS A ROLLS ROYCE
The (insert Pound sign here)55,240 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit. How many wheels? Four. The (insert Pound sign here)2,584 Citroen 2CV. How many wheels? Exactly the same.

MORE ROOM THAN A PORSCHE
With a possible 30cu. ft. boot space there's no need for one of those plastic luggage racks on our little run-about.

THE (insert Pound sign here)2,584 CITROEN 2CV
All you'll ever need in a car.

There was also the line about central locking...the doors are close enough for you to lock them from the driver's seat...just reach over !
