There are some things that never, ever go out of style. On the contrary, there’s a certain charm about them that only goes up with time! Iconic advertising from back in the day is undoubtedly one of those things. There’s something about old ads that is just magical – and if the ads are about cars, then well it doesn’t get better than that, does it?
Think iconic old ads, think MG Motor! This is one brand who’s iconic products were captured in truly legendary ads. Back in the age when most brands chose to play it safe, MG Motor always pushed the envelope on creativity and some edgy thinking. Look at some of these old world beauties below.
Cut to 2018, and the brand is back with a mission to re-create some old world charm today!

They are inviting graphic designers & illustrators to re-write history, by taking a shot to re-draw some of their classic, greatest old ads.
